Surendra J

Hi, I'm Surendra.

I'm a student, researcher, and a technology enthusiast. During my time at UC Santa Cruz, I've explored where my circumstances and interests have taken me, ranging from making custom keyboards to designing systems for research startups. I have previous experience creating full-stack applications, cli tools, and DevOps. Currently I'm working with Professor Owen Arden to incorporate Distributed Information Flow Control to a novel research operating system.

In my free time I enjoy writing about my work, watching movies and spending time with friends and family.

    Collaborating with Professor Owen Arden and peers on a novel operating system, specifically its security subsystem. I’m also researching novel ways to incorporate information flow control into OS security abstractions in order to provide expressivity and stronger security guarantees. I wrote my bachelors thesis on this topic, as well as contributing several pr’s.
