Aurojit Panda

I am a first year PhD student in Computer Science, advised by Scott Shenker. I currently work in the AMPLab, with Ion Stoica, and Scott Shenker.

Before coming to Berkeley I worked on a systems incubation project at Microsoft (the corporate part) in Redmond WA, specifically on low level kernel stuff, including some work on various methods of determining time, and its passage, some scheduling, and on the details of what makes multi-core CortexA9 ARM chips tick. Mostly I learnt how to debug complex programs, the necessity of "triage", and other such fun things.

Previously I graduated from Brown University in 2008 with a degree in Math-CS.

While at Brown I worked with Meinolf Sellmann on Symmetry Breaking in constraint satisfaction problems,with Eli Upfal on the uncappacitated facility location problem, and with Tom Dean on machine learning and AI.

I also TAed various course, including CS166, Brown's security course for which I was a part of the first set of TAs, and did some course development, and CS167/9, Brown's OS course. I also TAed CS 51, and CS 138. I was also a grader for honors linear algebra in the math department, and a math tutor for a bit.

I have also been involved in writing applications for the Windows Phone and the iPhone, including WikiPanda, a semi-popular Wikipedia application for the Windows Phone.
