I am an Assistant Professor in the School of computing at the University of Utah. I co-direct UtahDB Lab. I am also an Affiliate Faculty in the Performance and Algorithms Research Group at Berkeley Lab.
My goal as a researcher is to build scalable data systems with strong theoretical guarantees and employ them to democratize next-generation data analyses. My work applies to high-performance computing, computational biology, stream processing, and storage.
Previously, I was a Research Scientist at VMware Research for a year. Prior to that, I did postdocs at UC Berkeley/LBL and Carnegie Mellon University. I obtained my PhD in Computer Science at Stony Brook University in 2018.
I love outdoors and occasionally like to scribble my experience in a blog.
BIG NEWS! I’ll be moving to Khoury College Northeastern University, Boston in Spring 2025!
I will be part of the Data Lab. I am recruiting Ph.D. students at Northeastern in Boston for Fall 2025.
Drop me a note if you are interested in theory and practice of scalable data systems.
