About Me
Nikola Vuk Maruszewski is a PhD student in Computer Science at Georgia Tech (opens in new tab), advised by Dr. Josiah Hester in the Ka Moamoa Lab (opens in new tab), where he holds a CRNCH Fellowship (opens in new tab). He works on embedded systems for resource-constrained and batteryless devices. Nikola holds a BS in Computer Science and MS in Computer Engineering from Northwestern University (opens in new tab), where he worked with Dr. Nikos Hardavellas in the PARAG@N Lab (opens in new tab). His work there spanned prefetching for linked data structures and compilation techniques for quantum chiplet architectures. He graduated summa cum laude, was named an Outstanding CS Senior, and is a member of Tau Beta Pi.
Research Interests
My research focuses on applying systems techniques to improve performance and enable complex applications on constrained hardware, drawing on computer architecture, compilers, and operating systems. I'm interested in work that ships to real, deployed devices.
My current work spans two projects: timekeeping for batteryless embedded devices under intermittent power, and enabling low-power Edge-AI with multimodal models using heterogeneous compute.
