Rishabh Iyer

I am a postdoctoral researcher working with Sylvia Ratnasamy and Scott Shenker at UC Berkeley. I recently graduated from EPFL, after completing my PhD under the supervision of George Candea and Katerina Argyraki. Prior to joining EPFL, I received a B.Tech degree in Electrical Engineering from IIT Bombay in 2017.

My research interests lie primarily in the fields of Computer Systems, Networking and Architecture and I like to tinker with formal verification tools. My current research is centered around developing techniques that enable developers to reason precisely about the performance behavior of their systems before they are deployed. My dissertation work introduced the notion of latency interfaces—simple, succinct programs that summarize a system’s latency behavior just like semantic interfaces such as code documentation and specifications summarize functionality—and was awarded the ACM SIGOPS Dennis M. Ritchie Award and the Eurosys Roger Needham PhD Award.

Here is my CV (updated April 2024).
