Mohit Saxena

I am a Ph.D. Student in Computer Science department at University of Wisconsin - Madison.

I am working with Prof. Mike Swift and my research interests include Operating Systems, Networks and Distributed Systems.

Currently, I am working on developing new OS abstractions for flash memory and solid-state disks; and finding better ways to integrate them in today's computer systems.

Earlier, I completed my MS from Computer Science department at Purdue University in 2008 and B.Tech. in Computer Science department at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT-Delhi) in 2006.
