Khushboo Chitre

I am a full time Ph.D. (CSE) scholar at IIIT Delhi, working with Dr. Piyus Kedia and Dr. Rahul Purandare. My research is supported by the prestigious TCS Research fellowship under the TCS Research Scholar Program. I am a part of the Program Analysis Group at IIIT Delhi. Compiler Design and Program Analysis are my areas of interest.
I work in the area of compiler optimizations. My current research focuses on developing approaches that explores optimization opportunities missed by the compilers using static and dynamic analysis.
