Hariharan Rahul

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT. My advisor is Prof. Dina Katabi.

I previously worked at Akamai Technologies, where I played a key role in the design and implementation of their global traffic management solution, among other things.
