About me

I’m an Assistant Professor in the departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering & Computer Science at UIUC.

My research interests broadly lie at the intersection of networking, systems and hardware.

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cornell University. Prior to this, I was an undergrad at IIT Kanpur.

Prospective students: Please send me an email with a CV if you’re interested in working with me.
