<h1>Hello!</h1>

<div class="pl-3">
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.14288/1.0430555">side-channel attacks and defenses for modern processors.</a></p>
<p>You might know me from when I TA'd for various courses at UBC and the <a href="/documents/"> course notes I provide</a>.</p>
<p>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, <a href="https://www.bioware.com/en-us/">EA - BioWare</a> as UI/UX Programmer Intern, and <a href="https://www.vitalmechanics.com/">VitalMechanics</a> as a Software Developer Intern.</p>
<p>In my free time, I enjoy analog photography, video games, and tinkering with new technologies.</p>
