Hello!
My name is Muchen, and I currently work as an emulation engineer at Intel on the chiplet ecosystem IPs for the next generation x86 architecture.
I graduated from University of British Columbia in 2022 (M.A.Sc. in Electrical and Computer Engineering). My research focus was on CPU hardware security and I worked on side-channel attacks and defenses for modern processors.
You might know me from when I TA'd for various courses at UBC and the course notes I provide.
I previously worked at Solidigm, performing emulation validation on SSD controllers. I had co-op terms at Intel NSG (SSD division that was spun off to form Solidigm) as FPGA Engineering intern, EA - BioWare as UI/UX Programmer Intern, and VitalMechanics as a Software Developer Intern.
In my free time, I enjoy analog photography, video games, and tinkering with new technologies.
