Chair of Computer Architecture and Parallel Systems (CAPS). Technical University of Munich.

Room No. 01.04.057

Boltzmannstr. 3.

Garching, 85748

My name is Mohak Chadha. I am a final-year PhD candidate at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) advised by Prof. Dr. Michael Gerndt. My research interests are in the domain of serverless, parallel, and high-performance computing.

During my PhD, I have spent time at the Processor Architecture Research group at Intel Labs. In addition, I am a participant of the Software Campus Program (Class of 2022) in which I am collaborating with the Huawei Munich Research Center on the topic of Serverless Federated Learning.

Prior to starting my PhD, I completed my masters in Computer Science from TUM in 2020. During my masters, I worked at the Central Research and Technology (CRT) department at Airbus in Munich on two EU funded projects, i.e., Aramis 2. and COEMS..

Before my masters, I recieved my Bachelor’s in Computer Science and Master’s in Mathematics from Birla Institute of Technology and Science-Pilani in India. During that time, I interned at Nvidia, Center for Information Services and High Performance Computing, TU Dresden, and Central Electronics Engineering Research Institute, Pilani.
