Welcome!

I’m a final year PhD candidate at the school of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, working in distributed systems and networking. I was a Research Intern at Bell Labs with the Math of Communications Department, Algorithms, Analytics & Augmented Intelligence Research Group, where I worked in distributed storage systems in Fall 2017 and Summer 2018. I was also a Research Intern with the IP Networking Department in Summer 2019, E2E Network and Service Automation (ENSA) Group, where I worked in deep reinforcement learning for networking applications. Before that, I interned with the R&D department at Osram Sylvania (Siemens Business) in Summer 2015. I received Penn State’s Graduate Fellowship on 2015, Newport Research Excellence Award on 2016 and Bell Labs Unix 50 Student Presentation Award on 2019 [Slides].
