David is a student in the ADEPT Lab interested everything related to VLSI design, from transistors to CAD to computer architecture. As part of the FireSim project, his research focusses on developing techniques that make FPGAs more powerful hosts of full-system simulators. Specifically, he works on the FIRRTL compiler at the heart of FireSim, called MIDAS, which automatically generates bit-exact, host-decoupled simulators from SoC RTL.

David graduated from the University of Toronto in 2014, with a BASc. in Engineering Science (ECE option). His undergraduate thesis was supervised by Professor Jonathan Rose.
