About Me
========================================================================================
I am an Assistant Professor in the
[Computer Science Department](https://cs.ucdavis.edu/) at the University
of California, Davis. My research interests are primarly in operating systems,
particularly in the management of memory in the face of new memory technologies.
Prior to starting at UC Davis, I earned my PhD in May 2024 from
[UT Austin](https://www.cs.utexas.edu/) advised by
[Simon Peter](https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~simpeter/). Prior to that, I earned my
Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
**I am actively recruiting PhD students to join me in systems research at UC Davis.**
If You are interested, please apply to the UC Davis CS PhD program and mention my
name. Current UC Davis undergraduate and graduate students interested in doing
systems research, please email me!
