About Me

Hello! I am a second-year student in the Master of Science program in Computer Science Courant at New York University (Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences). I am a recipient of the Joann & Stanley Benson Master’s Fellowship in recognition of my academic and research achievements at NYU.

I am a member of the ParCour Lab at NYU, where I have been researching topics in Elastic Scheduling, Work Stealing, Parallel Computing, Compilers and Programming Languages, under the guidance of my thesis advisor, Prof. Sam Westrick. This effort culminated in my thesis, “Performance Analysis and Debugging of Parallel Programs within Lightweight Scheduling Frameworks,” and a research paper, “Scheduler Augmentation: A Lightweight, Customizable, Low-Cost Profiling Technique for Fork-Join Parallel Programs” accepted into SPAA 2026. In addition, I am involved in a research project with Prof. Dennis Shasha on the design and implementation of a Lock-Free RSM Database.

I previously worked as a Researcher and Developer for the Platform and Software Research team under 6G Lab at Samsung Research. In this role, I actively researched various advanced topics of interest like SIMD and Vector Processing, Compilers and Compiler Optimizations, LLVM and custom LLVM passes for optimization, with the overall objective of developing the platforms and software for the next generation of Wireless Communication to support stratospheric data rates of 100 Gbps.

I completed my undergraduate studies at PES University, where I graduated in the top 5% of my class in 2022. I received a First Class with Honors, B. Tech Degree in “Computer Science and Engineering”, and a Specialization in “Systems and Core Computing”. I was awarded the CNR Rao Merit Scholarship in recognition of my academic achievements. Under the guidance of my advisor, Prof. N S Kumar, I completed six advanced courses and my capstone project, “Automated Parallelization of Source Code using Program Comprehension.”

My technical interests broadly fall under the Performance Optimization umbrella and include such performance-motivated areas as Systems and Networking, Parallel-Computing, Compilers, Programming Languages, High-Performance Computing, Distributed Systems, Operating Systems, and Computer Architecture. Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have consciously tailored my courses, projects, and research explorations in this direction of performance optimization. This journey has resulted in the ossification of my technical identity and the enhancement of my research acumen. I am excited to continue exploring under the Performance Optimization umbrella as part of my MSCS program at NYU Courant and beyond.

Further, I firmly believe that technology can serve as a force for good and effortlessly solve pressing real-world problems such as Food, Water, Education, Poverty, Healthcare, Climate Change, Sustainability, etc. In this regard, I am passionately motivated to transcend boundaries and transform my hunger for optimization into a mindset for efficiently solving such problems.
