Senior Principal Researcher

À propos

I am a member of the Systems Group at Microsoft Research India. I am broadly interested in all areas of programming languages, including program verification, design and analysis of concurrency in programs, and the application of AI towards solving software engineering problems. I am driven primarily by the need of building tools that help developers deal with the complexity of software. I graduated with a PhD from the Computer Sciences Department (opens in new tab)of University of Wisconsin-Madison (opens in new tab), advised by Tom Reps (opens in new tab).
