Computer Architecture, with an emphasis in complexity-aware microarchitectures. Methodologies using Architectural Pruning to remove unused functionality from general-purpose cores to enhance performance, and/or generate application-specific designs.

Quantitative approaches to provide early feedback regarding thermal, power, and fabrication issues to architects and designers. Hybrid FPGA-ASIC design flows to speed simulation and verification.

Programming models for highly-balanced architectures containing high performance cores, massively parallel co-processors, and application specific execution units.

In a previous life I was involved in autonomous robotic systems. More specifically, control of highly unstable flying platforms using model-free behavior-based systems. Vision-based approaches for real-time navigation and landing of autonomous helicopter platforms.
