I am a second-year PhD student in Computer Science at Cornell University, advised by Professor Rachee Singh. My research currently focuses on improving systems for agentic RL training and optimising RDMA based communications in reconfigurable networks for AI workloads. Previously I worked on optical networking technologies for wide-area networks (WAN) and satellite network routing. Before joining Cornell, I was a Research Fellow at Microsoft Research under the guidance of Dr. Venkat Padmanabhan where I worked on optimizing WAN costs for Microsoft Teams.
