About Me

I am Md Amit Hasan Arovi, a Ph.D. candidate and graduate research assistant in Computer Science and Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University, advised by Dr. Ruslan Nikolaev. My work sits at the intersection of operating systems, concurrency, and memory management, with a focus on safe memory reclamation (SMR) and the design of efficient non blocking data structures. I build practical algorithms with correctness guarantees and reproducible artifacts that scale on modern multicore systems.
