Vinay
Banakar
I am Vinay, a PhD student in the Computer Sciences Department at The University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am part of the ADSL lab, advised by Prof. Andrea Arpacı-Dusseau and Prof. Remzi Arpacı-Dusseau. I am also a Research Collaborator at the Microsoft Gray Systems Lab.
My research interest is computer systems: Byte-Addressable Storage, distributed storage systems, and systems for ML. My current focus is on exploring new Data-Intensive computing paradigms for Byte-Addressable Storage.
Previously, I was a Senior Systems Engineer at Hewlett Packard Enterprise RnD Labs and a remote Research Fellow at Systems and Storage Lab, University of Texas at Austin.
