I am Karthik Swaminathan Nagaraj, fourth year PhD student in Computer Science at Purdue.
I work with Prof. Charles Killian on Distributed systems.
My research interests span Distributed systems performance debugging, Cloud computing, Data centers, Machine Learning and Overlay networks to name a few. We're currently working on performance diagnosis of large distributed systems using Machine learning on console logs.
I've interned at Google in the summer of 2009.
I'm currently looking for research internships for Summer 2012.
