Christina is an assistant professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at MIT, where she leads the SAIL group. Previously, she was an Assistant Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Cornell University, a member of the Computer Systems Laboratory (CSL), and the John and Norma Balen Sesquicentennial Faculty Fellow. Christina's main interests are in computer architecture and computer systems. Specifically, she works on improving the resource efficiency of large-scale datacenters through QoS-aware scheduling and resource management techniques. She is also interested in designing efficient server architectures, distributed performance debugging, and cloud security. Before joining Cornell, Christina earned a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, where she worked with Christos Kozyrakis. She had previously earned an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford (2011) and a Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (2009).

Christina has been fortunate to receive a Sloan Faculty Research Award, two Google Faculty Research Awards (2019 and 2020), a Microsoft Research Faculty Fellowship, the 2020 IEEE TCCA Young Computer Architect Award, an Intel Rising Star Award, a Google Research Award in Recognition of Technical Leadership and Achievements in Systems Research, a Facebook Faculty Research Award, the Cornell Excellence in Research Award, and the Cornell Excellence in Teaching Award. Her work has also received five IEEE Micro TopPicks Awards, one TopPicks Honorable Mention, and several best paper awards.
