Alan Nair

Call me Alan.

I am a Ph.D student at the Informatics Department, University of Edinburgh.

I am supervised by Dr. Antonio Barbalace and Dr. Boris Grot.

My research interests span computer architecture, operating systems, and emerging technologies, with a focus on heterogenous and disaggregated memory organization. I am currently exploring the optimization space opened up by CXL-enabled memory expansion, pooling, and disaggregation.
