I am a third year PhD student in the Computer Sciences department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am advised by Prof. Jignesh M. Patel and am part of the Database Group. My research focuses on achieving near bare-metal speeds in modern databases and database related problems. Broadly, I am interested in architecture-aware computation and hardware/software co-design, especially in the context of both modern (FPGA, GPU) and emergent (PIM, "Smart Storage") computing technology.

I received my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology. I was part of the PL & SE Group, working under Prof. Mattia Fazzini and Prof. Alessandro Orso. I explored software fragmentation-related errors within the Android ecosystem for my undergraduate thesis.
