Hi, **Tareq** here. I am a PHDYEAR-year PhD student
in the [Department of Computer Sciences](https://cs.wisc.edu)
at the [University of Wisconsin-Madison](https://wisc.edu).
I am fortunate to be advised by [Professor Shivaram Venkataraman](https://shivaram.org/).
My research interests lie at the intersection of ML and systems.
My current research focuses on building efficient distributed ML systems for large-scale GPU clusters.
