Suraaj Kanniwadi

I am presently a Computer Science Graduate student at Cornell University. My research interests lie broadly in the areas of Systems (real broad, I know!). Problems relating to formal specifications, security, extensibility and programmability appeal to me in particular. I am fortunate to be advised by Andrew Myers and Robbert van Renesse to pursue my interests. I also enjoy working with Fred Schneider on Fault-tolerant distributed systems.

Before this, I had a blast as an undergrad at IIT Roorkee, where I was awarded the Director's Gold Medal. My Bachelor's thesis was on constructing Side-channel Attacks on Persistent Memory, which you can read about here.

On the internet, my accounts usually have a character from the greatest show ever.
