Deepti Raghavan

Assistant Professor of Computer Science, Brown University

deeptir [at] brown [dot] edu
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Brown University. My research interests focus on operating systems, networking, and machine learning systems.

Previously, I received my PhD in computer science from Stanford. I was lucky to be advised by Matei Zaharia and Phil Levis. I also closely collaborated with Irene Zhang. I was supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship (2019) and a Stanford School of Engineering Fellowship (2018-2019). Even earlier, I received both my Bachelor's (2017) and my M.Eng (2018) degrees at MIT, where I researched in the Networks and Mobile Systems group in CSAIL, under Hari Balakrishnan.

I am actively recruiting PhD students to join my lab. If you are interested, apply to the Brown CS PhD program and mention my name. If you are a current Brown masters or undergraduate student interested in independent research in systems, email me!

Misc.
I am always on the lookout for a good scone, and I enjoy making lattes. I have been playing violin since I was small, and I was lucky to continue playing chamber music throughout college and graduate school. Once I contributed a small Linux kernel commit :P.
