Ph.D. Researcher at Northwestern University

I am a Ph.D. candidate at Northwestern University advised by Peter Dinda. Before that, I received my B.S. in Computer Science from Illinois Tech, where I worked with Kyle Hale.

I am currently interested in enabling new memory management systems in unmanaged languages like C and C++ through modifications in both the compiler and runtime systems. I am also very interested in kernel and runtime support for specialized programming models. I enjoy finding novel ways of enabling new programming models by adding support at the lowest levels of the kernel. I'm working on an operating system, Chariot where I prototype and hack on ideas I might have.
