Allen School of Computer Science &amp; Engineering at the University of Washington and the co-director of <a href="https://syfi.cs.washington.edu/">SyFI, the Systems for Future Intelligence Lab</a>. Previously (2017-2023), I was a Morris Wellman Assistant Professor in the <a href="http://eecs.umich.edu/">Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department</a> at the <a href="http://umich.edu/">University of Michigan</a>. My research pursues a long-running goal: building computer systems that remain efficient, secure, and reliable as computing becomes more complex and heterogeneous. At UW, my group focuses on efficient, flexible, and resilient infrastructure for future AI: systems that can keep pace with rapidly changing models, hardware, and applications while being trustworthy enough for production.</p> <p>I am the recipient of the inaugural <a href="https://www.sigops.org/the-rising-star-award/">ACM SIGOPS Rising Star Award</a> for contributions spanning dependable systems, systems security, and efficient AI infrastructure; the 2025 <a href="https://dsn2025.github.io/awards_rs.html">DSN Rising Star in Dependability Award</a> for contributions to dependable systems with influence on industry practice; and the 2016 <a href="http://www.eurosys.org/awards/needham-award">Roger Needham PhD Award</a> for the best PhD thesis in computer systems in Europe. I also received the 2016 Patrick Denantes Memorial Prize for the best PhD thesis in the Department of Information and Communication Sciences at EPFL. My other honors include an <a href="https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1942218">NSF CAREER award</a>, a <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/academic-program/faculty-fellowship/#!fellows">Microsoft Research Faculty Fellowship</a>, an <a href="https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/research/blogs/intel-rising-stars-awards-2020.html">Intel Rising Star Award</a>, a <a href="https://cse.engin.umich.edu/stories/baris-kasikci-earns-vmware-early-career-grant">VMware Early Career Faculty Grant</a>, a <a href="https://ai.googleblog.com/2020/02/announcing-2019-google-faculty-research.html">Google Faculty Award</a>, and research awards from Google, Intel, AMD, and OCP. Previously, I was a researcher in the <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/research-area/systems-and-networking">Systems and Networking Group</a> at Microsoft Research Cambridge.
