Newly minted Ph.D. and NVSL alumnus Dr. Kunal Korgaonkar jetted to Toronto to present his work on scalable, distributed algorithms that provide a path to realize large persistent memory systems. The work was presented at ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC) ‘19 - a flagship distributed computing conference. After graduating last spring, Kunal has taken a position as a postdoctoral research fellow at Technion (Israel) where he is working on building real in-memory computing systems from the ground up.
