I graduated with a Ph.D. from the Computer Systems Lab at Stanford University in 2008, where I worked on compilers under the guidance of Prof. Alex Aiken. During my thesis work, I developed a technique called peephole superoptimization. I received B.Tech. in Computer Science from IIT Delhi in 2001.
