Mariya Zheleva

My name is Mariya Zheleva. I am a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at University of California, Santa Barbara. I received my Bachelor and Masters degree of Engineering from the Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria. Prior to joining the PhD program at UCSB, I worked for Neterra Ltd. as a network operation center engineer and for Globul as data network support engineer.

My research focus is on wireless networks for developing remote regions. In the past, I have worked on other projects related to wireless networking including monitoring, medium access control for 60 GHz networks and smart phones.

I am a member of the MOMENT lab at UCSB and I work under the supervision of Professor Elizabeth Belding.
