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.
