His students are very well placed, including a full Professor at UNIST, South Korea, Assistant Professor at SJSU, ARM research lab, Google, Synopsys, Apple (x2), Qualcomm, Cadence etc.) Prof. Shrivastava is currently supervising 3 Ph.D., and 5 Masters students. Prof. Shrivastava teaches undergraduate and graduate level courses on computer organization, computer architecture, and embedded systems, and has student evaluations averaging over 4/5. He revamped the computer organization and computer Architecture courses at ASU to shift the focus towards processor design instead of assembly language programming and included modules about modern multicore architectures. He has redesigned the embedded systems course around projects in which students build an autonomously driving car, culminating in an autonomous car race!
