About

Vanakkam! I am currently in my first year of PhD at Emory University, where I am working on Distributed Systems. I obtained my BE in Computer Science in 2018 from from Department of Computer Science at College of Engineering Guindy, where I worked on cutting edge research with Dr. A.P. Shanthi, and Dr. Bama Srinivasan.

Currently, I work in Simbiosys Lab’s Systems Group, supervised by Dr. Avani Wildani and Dr. Ymir Vigfusson. My research interests is in the domain of Distributed Systems, where I am trying to make the systems more predictable. Currently, I am working on QoS Violations in Microservices with Dr. Francis Yan. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, reading, and exploring new music options!
