About me
I am a rising third-year PhD candidate in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at Carnegie Mellon University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Theophilus Benson.
Research Interests
I am highly passionate about datacenter networking and systems. My research spans systems observability and the support it requires from operating systems, networks, and runtimes, with the goal of explaining system behavior and making systems easier to diagnose and improve.
Previously
I completed my undergraduate studies from IIT Hyderabad, where I dabbled in diverse domains ranging from astrophysics to theoretical computer science. Some of my most formative experiences included working on pulsars with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope, traveling to Japan for a research internship that ultimately inspired me to pursue a PhD, and working in the NetX lab with Dr. Praveen Tammana.
Outside Academics
In my free time, I enjoy watching movies, biking, and singing Bollywood songs. I recently did the 53-mile endurance challenge, which was SUPER FUN! I also love practicing yoga, and I enjoy teaching it as a Group X instructor at CMU.
I'll be very glad to chat about any of the above! Please feel free to reach out over email anytime!
