Research

* I am currently interning at Microsoft Research, Redmond, with Jitu Padhye and Brian Zill *

I am a third year graduate student with Prof. Elizabeth Belding. My research interests are in the area of wireless networking, with an emphasis on monitoring and measurements and some day, I want to build reliable networks.

In summer 2007, I interned at Networking Research Group in Microsoft Research, Redmond with Ranveer Chandra. I spent the summer of 2006 as a research intern at HP Labs, Palo Alto with Partha Ranganathan working on power management in enterprise data centers. I spent the summer of 2004 as a research intern at DaimlerChrysler Labs, Bangalore working on MAC protocols for VANETs equipped with directional antennas.

Projects

CONAN : Analysis of wireless networks, specifically congestion analysis.
WORKIT Wireless Open Research Kit

In the past, I have also worked on:
