About Me
I am an assistant professor at
MIT CSAIL, where I work on operating systems, systems security, and networking. I specialize in building systems that cut across hardware and software boundaries to improve performance and security. Most recently, my research has focused on rethinking several layers of the system stack to make microsecond-scale distributed computing practical and efficient.
