Overview
After completing Masters at CMU, I had an option of going ahead with a job as a Software Developer at Microsoft Corp, Redmond or with graduate studies. Seems like a difficult choice to make but the option of being on my own (to a great extent) and having the independence of experimenting with and developing new technologies was way too lucrative to deny. Therefore, I came to Georgia Tech as a PhD student. Starting Fall 06, I have been working with Prof. Karsten Schwan and have enjoyed every bit of my work here. I have been able to take courses at a more relaxed pace, work with some really bright minds and have been able to feel good about participating in interesting research. Its surprising how there always are new ideas and challenges to deal with but then they form my bread and butter :) So I am pretty happy that computer architecture is progressing so fast generating new challenges for Systems researchers!
