I am a Systems PhD student in the Computer Science Department at the University of Chicago. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Shan Lu, and mentored by Dr. Suman Nath and Dr. Madan Musuvathi from Microsoft Research. My doctoral studies are supported, in part, by an Eckhardt Scholarship.
My research focuses on improving the correctness and performance of large-scale distributed systems. I build tools rooted in program analysis, code instrumentation, fault injection, and execution profiling to help developers better reason about their code and isolate bugs faster.
Before joining UChicago, I obtained my MSc degree from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) and my BSc degree from the University of Bucharest. In another lifetime, I had a grown-up job working as a Software Engineer for Microsoft and Bitdefender Labs.
