Prashant Pandey

I am an Assistant Professor in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences Northeastern University, Boston. I co-direct the Data 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 combines filters and compact data structures, I/O-efficient algorithms, and high-performance and GPU computing, applied across 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 love outdoors and occasionally like to scribble my experience in a blog.
