About Me

I am a fifth year PhD student at the Computer Science Department, University of California, Santa Barbara. I work with Prof. Subhash Suri and my research interests lie in the field of Sensor Networks. I have also worked in wireless spectrum auctions. My dissertation is titled, Sensors, Streams and Spectrum: Geometry in Wireless Networks and won the Outstanding Dissertation Award from the Computer Science Department in UCSB. An electronic copy of this can be found in the UCSB library.

    Other Activities

    I am a big sports fan and I love playing cricket, badminton and tennis. UCSB has helped me remember my love for badminton and that is what I can be found doing atleast two times a week. Recently I have taken up the mantle of organizing cricket in UCSB and its success pleases me a lot. Cricket is my first love, every child in India loves to hold that bat in his hand almost as he is learning to walk. My story has been no different, and the enthusiasm to play the game has not died down at all. I can be found playing cricket on Saturdays.
