Hello

This is Sandeep Kumar. I am currently working as a research scientist at Intel Labs in Bangalore, India. At Intel Labs, I am a part of the Processor Architecture Research Lab.

Before this, I finished my Ph.D. from the School Of Information and Technology at the Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi. I worked with Prof. Smruti R Sarangi and was a part of the Srishti Research Group. My Ph.d. thesis title is “Hardware-Assisted Secure Execution on Remote, Untrusted Systems” I finished my Master’s in engineering from the Department of Computer Science and Automation (CSA) at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, India, in 2013. At IISC, I worked with Prof. K. Gopinath, and my thesis title was “Modelling the Performance Gluster FileSystem.”
