Hello there 👋,

I'm Hansen

I am a second year CS PhD Student at Virginia Tech. I received a B.Informatics degree from Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS) with cum laude distinction. My unmatched perspicacity coupled with sheer indefatigability makes me love research with high curiosity.

I have broad interests in Storage Systems, Memory Systems, and Systems Architecture.
