I’m a Senior Researcher with Oracle Labs. Currently, I’m working on GraalVM’s native image runtime and also strengthening GraalVM’s Arm support.
I did my PhD with the I-ACOMA research group and focused on novel hardware-software co-designs. During my PhD, I studied many VM implementations, including V8, JavaScriptCore, HotSpot, Maxine, and Swift, and designed hardware & software features to improve their execution.
My thesis, Enhancing Non-Volatile Memory, focused on adding support for non-volatile memory to Java runtimes and also adding simple hardware support to reduce the overhead of creating crash-consistent images.
In the past I also spent time at Arm, working with both their NVM research and OpenJDK teams.
