I am an assistant professor of Computer Science at Cornell University. I lead the sysphotonics group. The sysphotonics group develops systems and algorithms for efficient communication on server-scale, rack-scale and long-haul photonic interconnects. We use these systems to improve the performance of important applications like distributed machine learning and general planet-scale cloud workloads.
