I am a fifth year PhD student at the University of Washington, where I am advised by Arvind Krishnamurthy and Ratul Mahajan. I am broadly interested in distributed systems and machine learning systems. My recent projects revolve around optimizing resource efficiency of machine learning applications.

My academic journey is complemented by valuable industrial experiences. I am currently engaged as a student researcher at Systems Research @ Google where I work on optimizing accelerator efficiency for ML serving. Previously, I collaborated with Srikanth Kandula and Ishai Menache as a research intern and visitor at Microsoft Research. Before starting my PhD, I spent two years as a Research Fellow at Microsoft Research India working with Muthian Sivathanu.
