About
My name is Bala Vinaithirthan. I am a CS and EE student at Stanford University working on compilers, high-performance computing, and computer architecture. I am advised by Fredrik Kjolstad.
I enjoy the interdisciplinary nature of CS and in the past have worked on ML drug design, security-specific database systems, and education games.
Outside of work, you can find me learning sports and meeting new people.
