General Information
I am a computer science post-doc in the
WISDOM lab working with
Aditya Akella and
Michael Swift .
Broadly speaking, I am interested in most aspects of data center
networking, especially in the intersection of network systems,
operating systems, and computer architecture. Currently, I working on
integrating programmable NICs into the OS and network core.
In addition to my interests in computer science, I enjoy participating
in many hobbies, including music, biking, boarding, and brewing. I
enjoy many types of biking, from commuting on a road bike to riding
dirt jumps on a BMX. I also enjoy many types of boarding, including
snowboarding and kiteboarding, and I enjoy homebrewing many different
types of beer and cider.
