About Me
I am a Project Research Scientist in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Bombay. I recently defended my PhD thesis at IIT Bombay working with Prof. Manas Thakur and am a member of the CompL group within the PLATO Lab.
My research interests lie in compilers, programming languages, and program analysis, with a focus on designing precise and efficient static and dynamic program analysis techniques for just-in-time (JIT) compilers. My research combines static analysis with runtime information to enable precise and efficient optimizations in managed runtimes. In particular, my doctoral research developed a robust static+dynamic framework for optimizing object allocation in Java on a production Java Virtual Machine (JVM). I am currently focused on productizing the outcomes of my PhD research in collaboration with IBM and exploring their integration into production compiler and runtime systems.
