While my technical interests are broad, I am currently focused on the end-to-end design and deployment of tiered memory and networked systems for datacenters. Before joining Google, I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Washington, advised by [Dr. Simon Peter](https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~simpeter/). My doctoral research centered on transport offload, specifically building flexible, energy-efficient datacenter network stacks for the terabit era. Earlier in my career, I served as a Senior Research Engineer at Samsung Research and conducted research in theoretical quantum physics.
