    PhD Student at UCSD CSE

    I defended my Ph.D. thesis in the winter of 2022 and joined Databricks to continue work on problems in the intersection of ML systems and databases.

    I am currently a fifth year Ph.D. student in the Computer Science and Engineering Department at University of California, San Diego.

    My research interest lies broadly in the intersection of Systems and Machine Learning, an emerging area which is increasingly referred to as Systems for ML. In this space I operate as a data management researcher. Taking inspirations from classical data management techniques, I build new abstractions, algorithms, and systems to improve efficiency, scalability, and usability of machine learning workloads. I am also interested in large-scale applied ML, which opens new systems challenges.

    I am a member of the ADA Lab headed by Dr. Arun Kumar, Database Lab, Center for Networked Systems, and an affiliate member of the Artificial Intelligence Group at UCSD.
