Description: CS Ph.D. Student
Hi, I’m Alok! I’m a CS Ph.D. student at UC Berkeley, advised by Aydın Buluç and Kathy Yelick . I am affiliated with the PASSION Lab , the BeBOp Group , and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab .
My research focuses on accelerating machine learning in HPC environments to enable new types of ML. Currently, I am using distributed sparse matrix kernels to scale large GNN models. I am also working on applying GNNs to science problems, such as particle tracking. In the past, I worked on accelerating graph analytics on GPUs. My work has been supported by the NSF Fellowship .
Before coming to Berkeley, I worked with Oded Green in David Bader ’s HPC lab at Georgia Tech (Go Jackets!).
