Scott Shenker spent his academic youth studying theoretical physics but soon gave up chaos theory for computer science. Continuing to display a remarkably short attention span, his research over the years has wandered from performance modeling and networking to game theory and economics. Unable to focus on any single topic, his current research projects include software-defined networking, network function virtualization, data analytics, and Internet architecture. Unable to hold a steady job, he currently splits his time between the U. C. Berkeley Computer Science Department and the International Computer Science Institute.

I’m a Computer Science graduate at Berkeley, originally hailing from Pakistan. I’m deeply passionate about CS, and the role women can play in advancing technology. I’m quite adventurous and I absolutely love travelling, hiking and swimming. I’m also a huge foodie. Fun fact: Whenever I get a sugar rush, I get super hyper and crazy!

Hi! I'm in a PhD student advised by Sylvia Ratnasamy. My PhD research focuses on systems like Apache Spark and Hadoop that can analyze data that's too large to be stored on a single machine. I'm also interested in teaching, and I am helping out with this course as part of my education minor!
