I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Florida. I received my Ph.D. (2019) and B.A.Sc. (2014) degrees from the University of British Columbia (UBC), Canada. My doctoral dissertation received the SPEC Kaivalya Dixit Distinguished Dissertation Award, and I was subsequently awarded Canada NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship. Prior to my faculty career, I was a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign (UIUC) in 2020.

Broadly speaking, my research focuses on data reduction and fault tolerance for high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) systems. My work has been recognized with Best Paper Award (or finalist) distinctions at multiple premier venues, including SC, ICS, DSN, LDAV, and ISSRE, in 2025, 2024, 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2018.

In addition, I am the recipient of the NSF CAREER Award (2025), the Google Academic Research Award (2024), and the IEEE Computer Society TCHPC Early Career Researchers Award for Excellence in High-Performance Computing (2024).
