Divyanshu Saxena

I am a graduate student at the Department of Computer Sciences, University of Texas at Austin. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Aditya Akella at the UT Networked Systems (UTNS) lab. Earlier I was an RA in the same group at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

I am broadly interested in Systems and Networking, with current focus on microservice deployments and learned systems. I like to think about and come up with design principles to make computer systems efficient, performant and usable. As a long term goal, it is my desire to bridge the gap between research and ground reality by working on socially utilizable projects.

Previously, I was an undergraduate student at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi majoring in Computer Science and Engineering where I met and made friends with some absolutely amazing and competent people. I hail from Lucknow, a city in Northern India.
