I am was a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, advised by professors Brighten Godfrey and Grigore Rosu. I am broadly interested in topics at the intersection of theoretical and practical aspects of computer science. My research is currently focused on enhancing the reliability of systems and networks through automated reasoning. It spans areas including formal methods and programming languages as well as computer networks and distributed systems. My more recent works also span AI/ML and inductive program synthesis.
UPDATE: I'm now at Google working with the Network Infrastructure group.
