Anshu Gupta

PhD Student
University of California San Diego

I am pursuing a PhD in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of California San Diego, advised by Prof. Yatish Turakhia and Prof. Siavash Mirarab.

My research focuses on the intersection of Computer Architecture and Computational/Evolutionary Genomics. Specifically, I tackle computational bottlenecks and develop efficient hardware/software tools for genomic data analysis.

I received my master's degree in Computer Engineering from University of California San Diego, and bachelor's degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering from IIEST Shibpur, West Bengal, India. I have three years of experience as a Digital Design Engineer at Analog Devices, where I contributed to the digital design and implementation of industry-standard SoCs, with a successful tape-out experience. I was also honored with the DAAD WISE Scholarship and for pursuing a summer research internship at the University of Bremen, Germany.
