Sara Mahdizadeh Shahri

I am a first Ph.D. student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the Carnegie Mellon University. My Ph.D. advisor is Prof. Akshitha Sriraman. My research interests are broadly on computer systems and architecture, specifically in datacenter computing.
Before starting my Ph.D. at the Carnegie Mellon University, I was a graduate student at Penn State University, where I got my M.Sc. under the supervision of Dr. Aasheesh Kolli with a focus on computer architecture and persistent memories.
I also worked as a Software Engineer Intern at Google in summer 2021 and 2022.
