Milind Srivastava

I’m a PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University, and am extremely fortunate to be advised by Vyas Sekar. I work on building systems that leverage sketch-based approximation to reduce the cost and improve the interactivity of data analytics workloads. Prior to this, I worked on building systems that can automatically find and exploit vulnerabilities in a network firewall. I did my undergrad in Computer Science at IIT Madras.

I am a proponent of making research open-source, and usable by people outside academia. Stay tuned for open source releases from ProjectASAP :)

Outside work, I love cooking, biking, and hiking. I’m also an aviation nerd and would like to get a pilot’s license someday.
