I am a member of the Programming Languages and Tools Group at Microsoft Research India. I am broadly interested in the areas of programming languages, verification and model checking with a focus on concurrent programs.
I graduated with a PhD from the Computer Sciences Department of University of Wisconsin-Madison, advised by Tom Reps. Here is my UW page. For my thesis, I was a co-recipient of the ACM SIGPLAN Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award.
