I am Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Computer Science, The Johns Hopkins University.
I work in the Systems Research Laboratory, and my advisor is Dr. Jonathan Shapiro.
I come from the historic city of Mysoru in India, where I obtained my Bachelor of Engineering
(B.E.) degree from The National Institute of Engineering.


Research
My primary research interests are:

Programming Languages: Compilers, Type theory, Program analysis and verification.
Virtual Machines: Dynamic translation, Machine virtualization techniques, Applications of virtual machines.
Operating Systems: Foundations, Secure and reliable operating systems.

I have worked on the BitC safe systems programming language project and HDTrans dynamic
instrumentation system. My CV can be obtained here.

Teaching
I teach the EN 600.318/418 Operating Systems course every spring along with Michael Doerrie.
