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 research experience at both target-oriented industry labs and blue-skies academic research. I received my PhD from The University of Edinburgh in 2023. I was advised by Prof. Vijay Nagarajan and awarded an Arm fellowship. I have a Masters (by research) degree from Indian Institute of Science, advised by Prof. R Govindarajan, and a Bachelors degree from Ramaiah Institute of Tech.
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, Duathlons, Trekking and more.
