I am Pavani Kuppili, a PhD student at the University of Utah, advised by Prof. Robert Ricci. My primary research interests are broadly in the areas of Programmable Networks, Data Center Networking, and Network       Measurements. I am actively working on programming Tofino switches and FPGA-SmartNICs using P4. I collaborate with Prof. Michael Zink at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and Prof. Miriam Leeser at   Northeastern University. Prior to starting my PhD, I was a Master's student at the University of Utah where I had the opportunity to work with Prof. Ryan Stutsman. I have a Bachelor degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from National Institute of Technology (NIT) Silchar, India. I have previously worked at Amazon with AWS EC2 team as a Cloud Engineer where I explored hands-on a vast spectrum of AWS Services. Later, I worked as a Systems Development Engineer at Amazon where I was part of the Amazon global websites' Cloud Hosting team.
