Highlights
May 2023. Grateful to receive an award for my service as a TA
this semester from the Department of Computer Science at Cornell!
April 2023. Had a great time participating in Schonfeld’s inaugural PhD “datathon” in NYC, leveraging real
world assets to explore quantitative finance with portfolio managers and researchers.
January 2023. Excited to TA my first CS course starting this semester, CS4414 -
Systems Programming, taught by my co-advisor, Ken Birman! Happy to share that I passed
my Systems PhD Qualifying Exam!
October 2022. Attended the excellent 2022
IAP Cornell Workshop on the Future of AI and Cloud Computing where cloud experts from
academia (Cornell) and industry (AWS, Alibaba, JPMorgan Chase, etc.) presented their latest
work. Presented my
slides on
Leslie Lamport's seminal distributed systems paper, “Time, Clocks and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed
System” (fun fact: this sits among the most often cited CS papers out there and is
Lamport's most often cited work).
