I am a PhD student in the College of Computing at Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta. I'm currently working in the systems research group with Dr. Karsten Schwan. My research interests include distributed system and virtualization with a focus on resource management for heterogeneous platforms in my current work. I am a member of Center for Experimental Research in Computer Systems (CERCS).

Before coming here, I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) with an MS degree in Computer Science in May, 2008 and with a B.Tech degree from the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT M), India in July 2006.

I like to read, cook, and listen to music in my leisure time.

Some useful applications:

• Multi-platform file synchronizer: Dropbox
• Bibliography Manager: Mendeley
• Python library for graphs: Matplotlib
• Vector Graphics: Inkscape

The easiest and the fastest way to reach me is to e-mail me.
