I currently work on the NetInfra team at Google, where I help build/optimize the network infrastructure for GPU cloud. Previously, I received my Ph.D. from UC San Diego where I was advised by Prof. Alex Snoeren. My research interests broadly lie in improving efficiency of modern data center OS and networking infrastructure. My Ph.D. research focused on building efficient user-level paging systems that unlock application-specific optimizations for Far memory. A decade earlier, I was at IIT Kharagpur, where I graduated (with the Institute silver medal) in Computer Science and Engineering.
