Profile
Resume
My research career began with a Bachelor-Master (dual degree) in Computer Science and Engineering from Indian Institue of Technology Kanpur - IITK:2009 batch. As part of the Master course, I worked with Prof. Phalguni Gupta on developing scalable solvers for large binary linear system of equations.
Thereafter, I joined the High Performance Computing Group, managed by Dr. Yogish Sabharwal, in IBM Research-India. While at IBM, the work I did was focussed on HPCC benchmark optimization for IBM's Blue Gene series, developing algorithms for MPI Collectives and scalability of scientific and real life applications.
In January 2011, I joined PPL group - managed by Prof. Laxmikant Kale - in Department of Computer Science at UIUC. Later in August, I joined UIUC as a Graduate Student. My work in PPL is concentrated on Topology Aware mapping, optimization of Adaptive MPI and management of a RTS.
