Hello, I'm Hari Bhavsar

I'm a final year undergraduate student at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay and a part of the CASPER research group. I am greatly interested in Computer Architecture. In particular, I am fascinated by the concept of the CPU Cache and how it acts as a double-edged sword, boosting performance but often at the cost of security.

If one is to understand a great mystery, one must study all its aspects. For Computer Architecture that means both security and performance. On the security side, I am interested in conflict and capacity-based side channel attacks. On the performance side, I am currently investigating the behaviour of graph workloads on the Cache Hierarchy.

Outside of academia, I am quite fond of cycling and cooking. In Mumbai, I have cycled from Borivali in the north to Churchgate in the South and from Versova in the West to Vikhroli in the East.
