About Me
I am an assistant professor at
MIT CSAIL, where I build systems that cut across hardware and software boundaries to improve performance and security. Before joining MIT, I completed my Ph.D. at Stanford University and spent a year at Google working on datacenter networking. Recently, my research has focused on making microsecond-scale distributed computing practical and efficient.
