Chitwan Goel

I am a senior undergraduate student at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, majoring in Computer Science and Engineering. Currently, my broad interests are in the fields of Computer Systems and Machine Learning. I am also exploring high performance computing, parallel computing and profiling of parallel software. I enjoy learning about new things to enhance my skillset, and am ever-ready to have a good discussion on any topic from CS to music to art!
