I am a Scientist on the Storage Research Team in the High-Performance Computing Design Group at Los Alamos National Lab. I do I/O and storage research that shapes the Lab’s future supercomputing platforms and storage infrastructures. I received my PhD in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University in 2021. I am known for my expertise in distributed filesystem metadata, key-value stores, and scientific data analytics. Some of my research projects have been exhibited at local science museums, reported by national media, and recognized with R&D 100 and Supercomputing Best Paper Awards.
