I am a third year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at Boston University working with Dr. Richard West. I received my Master’s in Computer Engineering in 2023 from Virginia Tech where I was advised by Dr. Haibo Zeng. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at PSG College of Technology, India in 2021.

My research focuses on different aspects of designing and building predictable systems. My specific interests include, but are not limited to:

• Scheduling & Synchronization
• Virtualization
• Heterogeneous Architectures
• Predictable AI

Feel free to reach out to me in case you are interested in my work, systems research in general, or pursuing graduate school. Email is the best way to reach me.

What’s in a name?

My name is pronounced as follows:

Where I come from, we follow patronymic naming. So, my given name is actually R. Shriram, where R stands for Raja which is my father’s first name. To match the convention that is common in other parts of India and the world, I moved the initial to the other side of my first name. So, when I say, "Call me Shriram", it's because Raja is literally my father.
