About

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Purdue University, advised by Prof. Vamsi Addanki.

My research focuses on ML Systems. My research background is in computer architecture and large-scale AI models. My research interest is in ML systems, with a current focus on Prefill-Decode (PD) disaggregation and inference scheduling. I am particularly interested in the efficient deployment of large-scale AI models in large-scale data centers, considering both software and hardware aspects.
