About Me

I am a fourth-year PhD student at the College of Information and Computer Sciences (CICS) in University of Massachusetts Amherst, advised by Prof. Ramesh K. Sitaraman. I also work closely with Prof. Prashant Shenoy. My research interests are broadly Sustainable Computing, Distributed Systems, and Networking. My current research focuses on making computing sustainable and carbon-free, as part of the CoDec project at UMass. Specifically, I work on measuring, forecasting, optimizing, and reducing the carbon emissions associated with electricity emissions in data centers and beyond.

Prior to this, I completed my Master's from IIT-Bombay under the supervision of Prof. Mythili Vutukuru. There, I designed and developed a high-performance User Plane Function (UPF) dataplane in 5G as part of my thesis.

My Resume is available here.

Besides academics, I am really passionate about football (soccer). I follow the EPL regularly, and am up anytime for any football related discussion.
