Hello! I am Omkar Desai, PhD Student and Research Assistant at the Syracuse Sustainable Storage Systems Lab (S4 Lab). I am a part of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Syracuse University. Before joining graduate school for my PhD, I was a Software and Data Engineer at Practo which is the biggest telemedicine platform in India. I have also worked on IoT in Behavioural Science research at Delos Living.

I am interested in computer systems with a particular focus on data storage systems.

I am open to exciting Internship opportunities for the Summer of ‘21! Send me an e-mail at odesai@syr.edu
