News

I have graduated!

I successfully defended my PhD thesis and graduated in October 2010. I now work as a Research Staff Member at IBM Research, Hawthorne.

Research

I am was a fifth year graduate student with Prof. Elizabeth Belding. My research interests lie in network computing. For the most part, I work on problems in wireless networking: understanding the performance of real deployments and building solutions to make them reliable and robust. My current and past projects include:
