About Me

I am a Masters student in the Computer Science Department of Stony Brook University. I am interested in systems research and prior to joining Stony Brook University, I was working in systems and storage domain for 4 years. I am doing my advanced project under the guidance of Prof. Erez Zadok in File Systems and Storage Lab (FSL).

Academic Projects

• E-- compiler
  Developed a compiler for the E-- language using flex, bison and C++.
• Mergesort system call
  Developed a Linux kernel module to support a new system call which merge sorts input files and writes sorted records to output file.
• Trfs (stackable file system with operation-tracing support)
  Developed a new file system - trfs to capture records of file system activity. These records are written to a file on disk which is later used by a user-land program to replay the traced operations.
• Linux kernel-based system to support per process system call vectors
  Modified Linux kernel and developed new system call vector modules to support system calls on a per process basis.
