Ph.D. Student, Computer Science
University of Massachusetts Boston

I am an incoming PhD student in UMass Boston, advised by Prof. Tarikul Islam Papon in the Computing Hardware & Large Data Lab (CHiLL). Currently working as a research intern with Prof. Papon, my research focuses on database systems and storage — I am developing SIEVE-DB, a buffer cache eviction algorithm for PostgreSQL, and building a benchmarking tool to analyze the impact of background events on buffer pool performance.
