I am an Applied Scientist on the Science, Services, Infrastructure, and Innovation (S2I2) team at Amazon Web Services (AWS), working on improving the sustainability of AWS datacenters.

My research sits at the intersection of computer systems, energy systems, and environmental sustainability. I design AI systems that are efficient, adaptive, and robust under resource constraints, developing new abstractions, architectures, metrics, and operational paradigms that elevate sustainability to a first-class principle. One of my solutions for dynamic overcommitment is deployed across all Google datacenters, serving internal workloads such as Search, Gmail, and YouTube.

Previously: I was the Computing & Climate Postdoctoral Impact Fellow at MIT Climate & Sustainability Consortium (MCSC) and MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL), where I worked with Christina Delimitrou and Elsa Olivetti.

Prior to MIT, I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from UMass Amherst (2022) with David Irwin, followed by a postdoc with Prashant Shenoy. During my Ph.D., I was a Student Researcher at Google on the Borg scheduler and at VMware Research. I hold an MS from NUST Pakistan and a BS from UET Lahore.
