About me

Welcome! If you’re here to know more about me, you’re at the right place! I’ll make this easy :D

  • Final-year PhD student
    • School: Georgia Institute of Technology
    • Major: Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)
    • Advisor: Alexandros Daglis
    • Research interests: datacenters, smartNICs, in-network computing, RDMA/RoCE, computer architecture, FPGAs
    • I’m currently seeking full-time opportunities to research and develop forms of in-network computing to accelerate high-bandwidth and latency-sensitive datacenter workloads. If my profile piques your interest, please reach out via email: hamed@gatech.edu
  • Topic: Enabling an Application-Aware Network with SmartNICs to Accelerate Latency-Critical Online Services
    • Datacenters traditionally operate with a strict boundary between network and compute. The increasing demands of today’s datacenters has instigated a push toward merging the two, giving rise to the advent of smartNICs. While tightly coupled with their hosts, smartNICs allow for the offloading of application level hints, enabling unique network-compute performance optimizations, which boost server throughput under very tight tail latency SLOs for latency-critical microservices. My work identifies prime use cases for re-architecting the datacenter using smartNICs and clarifies why smartNICs should co-exist, alongside server grade CPUs, as first-class citizens within the datacenter.
