I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin. I co-lead the UT Networked Systems Research Group and am also a member of the Wireless Networking and Communications Group and 6G@UT. I am a co-PI of the LDOS NSF Expeditions in Computing project.

My research focuses on designing new hardware and software systems that make cloud and edge datacenters faster, more efficient, and more resilient. Current projects include:

• Resource management for programmable network infrastructure
• Robust and resilient cellular network infrastructure
• Network transport design for AI and HPC workloads
• Learning-directed operating system

Prior to joining UT Austin, I was a senior researcher at Microsoft Research Redmond. I received my PhD from the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University, where I was advised by Vyas Sekar and Srinivasan Seshan. My dissertation introduced new abstractions and runtime systems to enable elastic and resilient in-network computing. My work was supported in part by the Microsoft Research PhD Fellowship. Prior to joining CMU, I worked as a research scientist at KAIST. Before that, I received a BS and MS degrees in Computer Science and Engineering from POSTECH, South Korea.
