About
Hi — I'm Dhruv Garg, a third year PhD student in Computer Science at Georgia Tech. I am advised by Prof. Alexey Tumanov and Prof. Ada Gavrilovska.
Research
My research focuses on two parts of Systems for Machine Learning. These include Efficient ML Model Serving and Robust Federated Learning. My recent works explore:
- Efficient ML Model Serving (SuperServe[NSDI '25], MetaServe[In Preparation])
- Robust Federated Learning (FeLiX[In Preparation], FeLiX-FFL[In Preparation], Client Availability[EuroMLSys'25], Flame[SoCC'23])
- Datacenter Scheduling ([Paper Under Review])
- Edge Computing (TorqueDB[Euro-Par'20])
