Bio

I am an academic primarily interested in solving fundamental computer systems problems and building stuff.

I am currently pursuing PhD in the Department of Computer Science and Automation at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India. I mainly work in Operating Systems and related areas with current focus being on exploring hardware and software techniques for building efficient large-scale memory systems. I am being advised by Prof. K. Gopinath and Dr. Arkaprava Basu. I spent the summer of 2019 as an intern at VMware Research, Palo Alto, USA where I worked with Dr. Jayneel Gandhi on project Mitosis.

I am a recipient of the Prime Minister's Fellowship Scheme for Doctoral Research (2019-2023), co-sponsored by the Confederation of Indian Industry and Microsoft Research Lab, Bangalore, India.
