Badrish Chandramouli
Senior Principal Researcher, Microsoft Research

Badrish Chandramouli is a senior principal researcher in the database group at Microsoft Research. He is interested in creating technologies to perform real-time and offline big and raw data processing, as well as resilient state management for cloud and edge applications. His research work first shipped in 2010 as part of the Microsoft SQL Server StreamInsight engine. Starting 2012, Badrish built Trill, a streaming analytics engine that is widely used at Microsoft, for example, in the Bing ads platform and in the Azure Stream Analytics cloud service. More recently, Badrish built FASTER, a high-performance embedded, resilient, and concurrent state store and cache that supports larger-than-memory data and is optimized for streaming analytics. He has also worked on simplifying distributed computing via frameworks such as Ambrosia and CRA.
