Prince Mahajan

I have graduated and I will be joining Google in October 2012 as a Postdoctoral Researcher. Prior to that, I obtained my PhD from the Department of Computer Science at University of Texas at Austin under the supervision of Mike Dahlin. At UT Austin, I was a member of the Lab for Advanced Systems Research (LASR) and I worked in the area of Distributed Systems and Data Replication Systems.
