<p>I am a Principal Researcher in the <a href="http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/labs/newyork/default.aspx">Microsoft Research New York City</a> lab, where I lead the <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/group/systems-research-nyc/">AI/Systems group</a>. Previously I was a researcher in the <a href="http://msrsvc.org/">MSR Silicon Valley</a> lab. I use data structures, algorithms, and machine learning to build more powerful distributed systems. My current mission is to use AI to optimize our cloud infrastructure in a way that is minimally disruptive, synergistic with human solutions, and safe.</p> <p class="" align="justify">I received my PhD from the Department of Computer Science at Princeton University, where I worked with <a href="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~ret/">Robert Tarjan</a> in the theory group and <a href="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~mfreed">Michael Freedman</a> in the systems group. I spent my final year as a junior research scientist at New York University working with <a href="http://www.news.cs.nyu.edu/~jinyang/">Jinyang Li</a>. Prior to my PhD, I worked for three years in the Network Load Balancing group of Windows Server at Microsoft. I received my S.B. and M.Eng. in Computer Science from MIT, where my M. Eng thesis advisor was <a href="http://people.csail.mit.edu/cel/">Charles Leiserson</a>.</p>
