PhD-ing in Multicore Lab of Dr. Trevor Brown (He is a magician in class, one must take CS798, if at CS uwaterloo. ) @ Algorithm and Complexity Group in University of Waterloo.
Currently, within the field of parallel, concurrent and distributed computing my projects are focused on:
Designing high performance memory management for software in concurrent and distributed settings.
Exploring architectural support for non-blocking programming and hardware-software codesign to address performance issues in Concurrent Data Structures. We prototype our work on multicore simulators like Graphite and GEM5.
Data Structures and Algorithms for emerging memory and network technologies- RDMA clusters.
In the past, I explored non-volatile memory programming abstractions and software transactional memory. Additionally, I have delved into security, specifically managing insider threat detection and mitigation using large organizational data.
Looking forward, I am exploring ideas to address scaling up and scaling out issues in current big data, AI/ML workloads within both shared memory and distributed memory settings.
