About Aditi Thanekar

I'm a CS grad student at UC San Diego studying systems, with a deep interest in high-performance computing and the low-level systems that make everything else possible. I especially enjoy digging into performance problems and compilers to understand what's happening underneath the abstractions.

I graduated with my BS from UC Riverside and have been lucky to do some of my coolest work at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and AMD, from C++ systems and GPU computing to performance and compiler engineering.

I love meeting people and hearing new perspectives. You never realize how much a second pair of eyes on a problem can change your perspective.

I'm also an artist at heart. When I'm not working, you'll find me making art, dancing, or playing percussion.
