About

I am a Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University’s Computer Science Department, working with Professor Greg Ganger. I am also affiliated with the Parallel Data Lab.

I am interested in the broad area of cloud computing, with a focus on the topic of cluster scheduling.

Thesis: Realizing value in shared compute infrastructures
