Aarati Kakaraparthy

(pronounced RT :)

I’m a PhD student advised by Prof. Jignesh Patel at the Department of Computer Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Madison. My research involves improving the resource efficiency of systems for data analysis by adapting fundamental data structures to the properties of the underlying hardware, the workload, and the execution environment.

Prior to pursuing graduate studies at UW Madison, I completed my bachelor’s in computer sciences at IIT Madras, India where I worked with Prof. Jayalal Sarma as part of my undergraduate thesis. I originally hail from the town of Guntur, India. In my free time, you can find me engaging in cooking, solving jigsaw puzzles, and playing tennis.
