I am a PhD student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My research interests are in computer architecture, virtual machines, high availability systems and memory system design.

My advisors are Professor Jim Smith and Professor Kewal Saluja. My thesis work is being done in collaboration with Norm Jouppi and Partha Ranganathan at HP Labs.

My research focuses on highly available systems built using commodity hardware and software. Please see my resume for more information.
