About Me 👋

I am a 3rd year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), where I work with Prof. Aishwarya Ganesan and Prof. Ramnatthan Alagappan in the DASSL Lab. My research interests lie in Dissaggregated Memeory and Distributed Storage Systems.

What I’ve been up to lately

• Working on abstractions that simplify programming in disaggregated environments(CXL).

• Playing around with new index structures to push the limits of databases on emerging hardware.

• Supercharging OS page caching with emerging hardware.

• Teaming up with folks at ARCANA Research Group to cook up a clustering-based caching algorithm that finds hidden memory access patterns most people miss.

Before joining UIUC, I spent 3.5 years at VMware R&D as a Kernel Developer on the Core Storage team, where I worked on NVMe, iSCSI, and vSCSI components inside the ESXi kernel.

I also interned at Carnegie Mellon University, where I built a kernel-aware MMU page prefetcher for improving real-time memory locality.
