My new web page at UT Austin can be found here.
        
          I will be joining
	    the Computer Science
	    department at the
	    University of Texas at
	    Austin in Fall 2016.
	    
	    Prior to joining UT Austin, I will be spending one year as
	    a post-doc at
	    the VMWare Research
	    Group.  
         
        
        I am was a grad student and Alumni Scholar in Computer Science @ University of Wisconsin Madison. I
        am interested in operating systems, file systems, and storage systems. I
        am working worked with Prof. Andrea Arpaci-Dusseau
        and Prof. Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau in the The ADvanced Systems Laboratory (ADSL). I was awarded the Microsoft Research PhD Fellowship in 2014.  
        
I did my undergradation in
        Computer Science @ College 
        of Engineering Guindy, Anna University. My advisor was Prof. 
        Ranjani Parthasarathi. My undergraduate research project focused on
    effective usage of flash storage in computer architecture. My CV can be
    found here.
        
        I blog about systems research at The slow, the fast, and the correct. You can
        find me on Twitter at @vj_chidambaram.
