About Aditi Thanekar

I'm a CS grad student at UC San Diego studying systems, with a deep interest in high-performance computing and graphics — GPU programming, compilers, and the low-level systems that make everything else possible.

Graduated with my BS from UC Riverside and got to spend two summers doing some of my most meaningful work at the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

I love meeting people and hearing new perspectives. You never realize how much a second pair of eyes on a problem can change everything until it happens to you.

I'm also an artist at heart. When I'm not working, you'll find me making art, dancing, or playing percussion — and occasionally blogging about my tech experiences on Medium.
