About

Hi ! Welcome to my page.
I’m a Masters student at the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science, UWaterloo.
I’m part of the Data Systems Group (DSG) Lab, advised by Prof. Semih Salihoğlu.

Research Interests

• Databases
• Graph Data Management

As part of my Masters Thesis, I have been working on query processing for Recursive Joins (such as shortest path & variable length path queries) in GDBMS (Graph DBMS) systems and how to make them more efficient. I primarily use Kùzu for my research which is a new graph database being built at UWaterloo.

Prior to this, I worked as a Software Engineer for 2 years at Goldman Sachs.
