Hi there. I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in Computer Science at UNC Chapel Hill, advised by Ben Berg.
I work at the intersection of Queueing Theory and Computer Systems. My research focuses on bridging the gap between theoretical performance modeling and the practical realities of modern system architectures.
I am currently interested in: Multiresource-job scheduling and LLM inference job scheduling.
