Arjun Balasingam
PhD from MIT CSAIL

I recently received my PhD in Computer Science from MIT, where I was advised by Hari Balakrishnan and by Mohammad Alizadeh in the Networks and Mobile Systems group at CSAIL. From 2020-2023, I was a student researcher at Microsoft Azure for Operators, where I was mentored by Victor Bahl.

I was supported by a Jacobs Presidential Fellowship and by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. My research spanned mobile systems, networking and computer vision. My thesis built application-aware scheduling architectures for mobile systems.

Before MIT, I was an undergrad at Stanford University, where I graduated with honors and distinction. I worked with the Stanford Networked Systems Group, and was advised by Sachin Katti. I was also mentored by and worked closely with Aaron Schulman.
