I am a PhD candidate working under the supervision of Pr. Pramod Bhatotia at the Technical University of Munich (TUM).
My research interests lie at the intersection of operating systems and database systems. I’m especially interested in designing new OS interfaces to make data-intensive applications more performant and simpler.
