About

Akshitha Sriraman is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. Her research interests are in the area of bridging computer architecture and systems software, with a focus on making hyperscale data centers more efficient (via solutions that span the systems stack). The central theme of her work is to design software that is aware of new hardware constraints/possibilities and architect hardware that efficiently supports new hyperscale software requirements. Sriraman's systems solutions to improve hardware efficiency have been deployed in real hyperscale data centers and currently serve billions of users, saving millions of dollars and meaningfully reducing the global carbon footprint. Additionally, her hardware design propo
