À propos

Suman Nath

I am a research manager at Microsoft Research Redmond. I obtained my M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University (opens in new tab), under the guidance of Prof. Srinivasan Seshan (opens in new tab). Before that, I got my Bachelor’s degree from the Computer Science and Engineering Department, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (opens in new tab), Bangladesh.

My current research interest is developing practical tools for configuring, testing, debugging, and monitoring cloud applications.
