Education
I am a graduate Research Assistant and a PhD candidate at the department of Computer Science, Purdue University. I work in DCSL lab and I am advised by Professor Saurabh Bagchi and Professor Ananth Grama. My research interests include optimizing performance and cost for cloud-hosted systems. During my PhD, I worked on several research projects that target optimizing the performance and cost for two emerging technologies: NoSQL datastores and Serverlss workflows.
