ANIL K. YELAM
PhD Candidate @ UC San Diego
I’m a fifth year Computer Science Ph.D. student at UC San Diego where I’m advised by Alex Snoeren. I’m also a member of Systems and Networking and Circuit Switching research groups, and my research interests broadly lie in modern data center operating systems and networking. My thesis focus is on building better disaggregated or tiered memory systems by specializing them for, and taking guidance from, the applications using them.

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.
