About

Hi! My name is Kahfi, and I am currently an incoming Ph.D. student at the University of Virginia, advised by Prof. Chang Lou. I received my bachelor degree in Computer Science from Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), Indonesia.

My research focuses on Computer Systems, with an emphasis on Storage Systems, Distributed Systems, and Machine Learning Systems. I have 3 years of experience in conducting systems research with Prof. Haryadi Gunawi on the intersection between machine learning and systems.
