Biography
I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Columbia University advised by Kostis Kaffes. I am broadly interested in computer systems, especially cloud computing. I am looking for ways to implement and deploy systems for microsecond-scale tail latency across different layers of the stack.
I received my bachelor’s degree at Middle East Technical University.
