About
I am an Associate Research Professor in the department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University with a courtesy appointment in Computer Science. I am also a core member of the Parallel Data Lab. I spend part of my time at Amazon S3 as a Visiting Academic.
My current research focuses on distributed and cloud storage, new storage technologies, high performance computing, and storage for machine learning.
