Brief Bio
Current position: I am a Senior Research Engineer in the Architecture & Technology Group at Arm.
Research interests: My research interests broadly lie in the area of "Systems Architecture & Design" - memory disaggregation, consistency, coherence, RAS features, persistency and virtual memory.
My research ethos is holistic, end-to-end system design and application driven architecture - incorporating workload understanding / algorithm analysis, and this is reflected in all my works.
Statement of experience:
I have a strong background in exploratory research at both target-oriented industry labs and blue-skies academic research.
I received my PhD from The University of Edinburgh, advised by
Prof. Vijay Nagarajan,
with an
Arm fellowship.
I earned a Master’s degree (by research) from the Indian Institute of Science advised by
Prof. R Govindarajan,
following a Bachelor’s degree from Ramaiah Institute of Technology.
Formerly, I worked at Intel as a Research Scientist (2017-19) and at Goldman Sachs as a Technology Analyst (2012-14).
I am also an endurance sports hobbyist: Marathons, Hyrox, Triathlon, Trekking and more.
