ANIL K. YELAM

PhD Candidate @ UC San Diego

I’m a final year Computer Science Ph.D. student at UC San Diego where I’m advised by Alex Snoeren. My research interests broadly lie in improving efficiency of modern data center operating systems and networking stacks. My thesis focus is on building better disaggregated or far memory systems by specializing them for, and taking guidance from, the applications using them.

I am on the job market for research-focused industry positions this year (2024)!

About me

I grew up in Southern India. Before starting my PhD in 2018, I received my bachelors degree from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (2014) and I spent four years working as a Software Engineer at Microsoft (splitting my time at Belgrade and Redmond). I’m an avid reader and I like literary fiction; García Márquez is my favorite author (and Salman Rushdie, a close second). I also love playing Tennis and Piano.
