Prasanth Prahladan

Prasanth is currently pursuing his PhD under the guidance of Prof. Sangtae Ha within the Networks Systems Group at the Department of Computer Science, CU Boulder. His research explores the use of AI to improve the performance of existing communication and computing system architectures. Data center resource allocation, caching strategies in routers, and measurement analysis over the internet, are some of the projects that he is working on. 

Prasanth holds a Masters in Electrical Engineering from CU Boulder and a Masters in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras. 

He aspires to contribute to the work of building smart infrastructure-systems while trying to limit the possible harms that the technologies pose to social justice. Apart from the research in computer systems, Prasanth is interested in advocating for science and technology, advocating for ethics in computing, and building diverse and inclusive workspaces. He enjoys reading non-fiction that helps him understand people, society and the impacts of technology on society. 

Prasanth acted as graduate mentor to Andrea Chamorro.
