Mahlke, for his mentorship and unwavering support throughout my doctoral research. Scott’s enthusiasm for research and technical acumen have been an inspiration to everyone in our group, and I consider myself truly fortunate to have worked under his able guidance. I would also like to thank my dissertation committee, Professor Todd Austin, Professor Valeria Bertacco, Dr. Michael Powell, and Professor Zhengya Zhang, for their time and effort in reviewing my thesis, holding candid discussions about my research, and encouraging me throughout this process.

I am also indebted to my close research colleagues Jason Blome, Shuguang Feng and Amin Ansari. It has been a real pleasure working with all of them, and I can not imagine having this thesis in its current form without their support. Jason gave me the original idea of the StageNet architecture, which forms the basis of my thesis. Shuguang and Amin have been with me throughout this process, sitting patiently through our long meetings with Scott, giving excellent research insights, and always being there for any help with
