About

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science at Yale University. My research interests span computer systems, networks, and systems security. My work addresses challenges in processing, storing, and serving large volumes of data to empower real-world systems: from sprawling internet services like social media to critical tools in health and medicine.

I am always looking for motivated graduate students and postdoctoral researchers!
