About Me
I am a fourth-year PhD student at Stanford University advised by Professor Matei Zaharia. I am a member of the FutureData Systems research group and the Stanford DAWN group. My research is
focused on building systems and infrastructure to accelerate machine learning workloads. I earned a BS in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 2017 and an MS in Computer Science from Stanford in 2019 (dual concentration in Systems and Artificial Intelligence). At UIUC I worked with Professor Indranil Gupta in the Distributed Protocols Research Group.
