Hello Everyone,
I am a first year graduate student in Computer Science at UC Berkeley. I work in the AMPLab advised by Prof. Sylvia Ratnasamy and Prof. Ion Stoica. My research interests include topics in Networks and Systems, especially Virtualization, and Energy-Efficient Architectures. I completed my Bachelors (Hons.) Degree in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT Kharagpur and was awarded the prestigious President of India Gold Medal (summa cum laude). My schooling was from D.L.D.A.V. Model School, Delhi.
"I do not fear failure. I only fear the "slowing up" of the engine inside of me which is pounding, saying, "Keep going, someone must be on top, why not you?""
