Interests
Anshul's high-level research interests are in applying analytical tools to improve computer systems. In particular, his research aims to leverage mathematical tools such as {Machine Learning, Optimization, Queueing Theory, Control Theory} to analyze the behavior of systems such as {Data Centers, Cloud, Systems for ML} and to optimize metrics of interest such as {Performance, Energy, Carbon}.
Biography

Anshul Gandhi  leads the PACE Lab at Stony Brook University. He completed his Ph.D. in 2013 from the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University, where he was advised by Prof. Mor Harchol-Balter. His thesis was on Dynamic Server Provisioning for Data Center Power Management. Anshul then spent a year as a post-doctoral researcher in the Cloud Optimization and Analytics group at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. He completed his undergraduate studies in 2007 from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur.

Research

Current research projects include sustainable computing, systems for ML, and generally improving the efficiency of distributed systems. For example, how to optimize the carbon footprint of a job while meeting its performance requirements? How to efficiently colocate workloads in a cloud setting? How to increase the throughput of an inference serving system? How to analytically model the performance of these systems?
