[Hotstorage-chairs] HotStorage ’26 – External Reviewer Request

[Pranshu Jain]

Dear Professors Choi and Kim,

I hope you are doing well. I am writing to request whether HotStorage ’26
may still be using external reviewers for submissions, particularly in
areas related to distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, storage
virtualization, QoS, and systems for ML.

I am a Senior Principal Architect at VMware by Broadcom, where I lead the
architecture and roadmap for resource-management and scheduling systems in
VMware Cloud Foundation and vSphere, supporting infrastructure used for
more than 70 million virtualized workloads globally. My work aligns well
with HotStorage topics at the intersection of distributed systems and
modern infrastructure, including virtualization-aware orchestration,
application QoS, multi-resource management, and scheduling across
Kubernetes and hypervisor layers for cloud and AI workloads.

On the research side, I am a senior author of an OSDI ’20 paper on
declarative cluster management

authored several patents in workload scheduling and orchestration
<https://patents.google.com/?q=(-Temperature)&inventor=Pranshu+JAIN&country=US&status=APPLICATION&type=PATENT>.
I have also served as a Technical Program Committee member and reviewer for
Broadcom’s global R&D conference for eight years through a highly selective
process, and I was invited to present original research at VMworld to over
100 global customers.

I have attached my CV and included my Google Scholar profile below for
reference. Please let me know if there is still an opportunity to
contribute.

Best regards,
