I graduated with a Ph.D. from the Computer Systems Lab at Stanford University in 2008, where I worked on compilers under the guidance of Prof. Alex Aiken. During my thesis work, I developed a technique called peephole superoptimization, a nice result of which has been an efficient and portable method to perform binary translation. I received B.Tech. in Computer Science from IIT Delhi in 2001.
