Markos Markakis
I am interested in enabling the efficient management of big data by designing novel high performance data systems. To that end, I am currently wrapping up a PhD at the intersection of data systems and machine learning as a member of the Data Systems Group at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. During my time at MIT, I have worked on projects with Prof. Tim Kraska, Prof. Michael Cafarella and Prof. Samuel Madden. I have also interned at Intel as a Graduate Research intern in the summer of 2021, and at Amazon Web Services as an Applied Scientist intern in the summers of 2023 and 2025.
I am currently looking for an industry position starting June 2026. You can find my CV here.
Before joining MIT, I earned my Bachelor's of Science in Engineering (B.S.E.) in Electrical Engineering from Princeton University, alongside a certificate (minor) in Applications of Computing. For my undergraduate thesis, I had the honor of working with Prof. Margaret Martonosi on efficient memory consistency testing, as well as on formal verification for the DECADES project.
