I am a PhD candidate at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I work with the SSRC group in the Archival Storage project. My advisor is Prof. Darrell Long.

I completed my Masters in Computer Science at UCSC under the guidance of Prof. Alkis Polyzotis.
Before coming to grad school I worked as a software consultant in the San Francisco Bay Area. I did my undergrad in Computer Science at the D. Y. Patil College of Engineering, Pune, India. Here is my resume.

My broad topics of interests include long-term archival storage systems and distributed storage sytems. Specifically, I am interested in scalability with respect to data de-duplication, indexing and retrieval in large-scale storage systems.
