Swapnil Gandhi

PhD Student · Stanford

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Stanford University, where I work with Jure Leskovec on scaling software systems for Graph Neural Networks (GNNs).

My broad research interests include distributed systems and cloud computing – in particular, I am interested in the system-side problems associated with learning, deploying, and operationalizing machine learning models at scale.

Previously, I was a Research Fellow at Microsoft Research India and prior to that obtained my Masters (by Research) in Computer and Data Systems from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc).
