About

I am a Senior Research Software Development Engineer in the Cloud Efficiency team (opens in new tab) within the Systems Research group (opens in new tab). A central theme of my research is working on hardware/software co-design for improving the cost efficiency of Microsoft’s datacenters.

I received a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Lehigh in 2021, advised by Michael Spear (opens in new tab). My thesis focused on hardware/software co-design for emerging memory technologies, and compiler support for abstract instrumented memory interfaces, which allow programmers to exploit hardware and software memory features like persistent memory.

Outside of work, I serve as a Chair of the AnitaB.org Technology Committee, trying to advance opportunities for women in technology, from students in the classroom to executives in industry.
