Biography

I am a 6th year graduate student at University of Wisconsin-Madison under the instruction of Professor Andrea Arpaci-Dusseau and Professor Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau. I am generally interested in filesystems and memory systems and their interaction with applications. I also love kernel hacking. I am currently on the job market.
