About

I am a GPU performance engineer at AMD specializing in AI/LLM workload modeling and optimization. Previously, I was a PhD Candidate at the DREAM Lab, Department of Computational and Data Sciences at the Indian Institute of Science. My PhD thesis focused on the systems aspects of Edge AI, particularly power and performance optimization, as well as modeling and scheduling of deep learning workloads on GPU accelerated edge devices. My research has resulted in several poster, workshop, conference and journal publications at top venues such as SIGMETRICS, FGCS, EuroSys, IPDPS, MLSys, CCGRID, and HiPC. Prior to my PhD, I worked on developing Graphics Device Drivers as part of Intel's Visual Technologies Team. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Electronics and Communication from M S Ramaiah Institute of Technology and a Master's Degree in Electronic Systems Design from IIIT Bangalore, both with gold medals. I have received several awards, including the MLCommons' ML and Systems Rising Star Award, Prime Minister's Research Fellowship, Intel's Department Recognition Award, and travel grants from Microsoft Research, ACM-W, IEEE TCPP, USENIX, SIGMETRICS, EuroSys and CODS-COMAD. Other interests: Words and stories have always taken center stage in my life, and when I'm not reading a research paper, I'm likely reading a novel. If you'd like to read what I write, here are a couple of places you can find me.
