I'm a Ph.D. candidate and Ross Fellow in the Department of Computer Science at Purdue University, where I am advised by Muhammad Shahbaz. My research focuses on designing next generation hardware/software abstractions and architectures for emerging data center networking applications. Currently, I am working on designing a scalable and efficient fast path for the Open vSwitch, which is a widely used software switch in modern data centers.
