I'm Diman Zad-Tootaghaj, I am a postdoc/researcher at Hewlett Packard Labs in Palo Alto, California. I work on Software-Defined Network solutions in Wide Area Networks (SD-WAN).

I earned my PhD in Computer Science and Engineering at Pennsylvania State University. Prior to Penn State, I got my B.Sc degree in Electrical Engineering at Sharif University of Technology, Iran. During my PhD, I was working in the Institute for Networking and Security Research (INSR) and Network Sciences Research Group (NSRG) under supervision of Prof. Thomas La Porta (advisor), Dr. Ting He (co-advisor), and Dr. Novella Bartolini.

My research area is computer networks, stochastic analysis, operating system, and parallel computing. I graduated from Sharif University of technology, with MSc. in Electrical Engineering.

I'm on the N2Women board as a Website Co-chair.

My research interest lies in the areas of computer architecture and hardware security, with a focus on defenses against transient execution attacks and cache-based side channel attacks.

Christina is an assistant professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Cornell and the John and Norma Balen Sesquicentennial Faculty Fellow. At Cornell she leads the SAIL group, and is also a member of the Computer Systems Laboratory (CSL). Christina works in computer architecture and computer systems, and more specifically on improving the predictability, resource efficiency, and security of large-scale datacenters.

She is the recipient of a Facebook Faculty Research Award (2017), a VMWare Research Award (2018), 3 IEEE Micro Top Picks awards (2014, 2017, 2018), a Facebook Graduate Fellowship (2014), and a Stanford Graduate Fellowship (2010-2013). Before joining Cornell, Christina received her PhD from Stanford University. She had previously received an MS also from Stanford, and a diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens.

I am a PhD student in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University. I received my Bachelors (2018) in Electronics and Communication Engineering (with honors) from Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India. I was a recipient of the IITR Heritage Excellence Award, INSA-NASI-IASc Summer Research Fellowship, and ENCORE Scholarship Award for outstanding performance in academics and curricular during my time at IIT Roorkee. Subsequently, I worked for Texas Instruments for one year on standard cell design and methodologies in collaboration in EDA team. I joined my PhD program in Fall 2019 and since have been a part of Nanoelectronics Research Lab. My research interests include computer architecture, hardware accelerators for Machine Learning applications using emerging technologies, and design of processing in/near memory based architectures. In my free time, I like to play badminton, dance, go for running, or listen to music.
