Garvita Allabadi

I'm a PhD student in Computer Science at University of Illinois Urbana Champaign. I am co-advised by professors Vikram Adve and Yuxiong Wang.

Before joining UIUC, I worked as a Software Engineer II at Microsoft, where I was part of the Azure Backup team. I completed my Bachelors in Computer Science from IIIT Delhi, where I focused on runtime verification.
