Who Am I?

Hi, This is Glara! Personally, my true calling is solving puzzles and problems that seem hard to solve. Frankly, I'm addicted to doing research and sharing it with others. I see the beauty of doing research in the moments when you are confused and desperately looking for an answer to tackle a problem that has not been solved for a long time. I'm addicted to the dopamine that solving the puzzle releases. Also, I love it when I share my thoughts with others, even those who are not experts in the area, and they bring up new questions and answers that make me think again. I enjoy this cycle, and I hope I can show you how stunning it is.

Professionally, I am currently a Master's student in computer, focusing on hardware design, and a dedicated computer architecture researcher with a passion for designing high-performance and energy-efficient systems. My technical expertise lies in hardware design, bio-inspired computing, parallel computing, and Approximate Computing. As a member of the ICVLSI research group, my work focuses on approximate computing and hardware accelerators.
In addition to my research, I am deeply committed to education. As a teaching assistant, I guide students through complex concepts, offer mentorship, and create resources that bridge the gap between research and learning. I’m passionate about making education more accessible and engaging, to build progressive community.

Through my personal blog, I share insights on both research and education, hoping to inspire others and contribute to the future of innovation and learning. In addition, I have collected study material and tips that have been shared on GitHub.
