Research

I work with Prof. Ben Zhao ( CURRENT Lab) and Prof. Heather Zheng (LINK Lab ). My research interests lie in Network Design and Measurements, Wireless Systems and Protocols, Vehicular Networks and Dynamic Spectrum Access. My inclination is towards protocol design, system building and measurement based analysis on test beds. In general I'm interested in the broad spectrum of systems and networking.

I have been fortunate to collaborate with an amazing bunch of people as part of my research: Antony Rowstron & Greg O'Shea (Microsoft Research, UK), Vivek Jain & Badrinath Raghnunathan(Bosch Research, CA) and Lei Yang & Sudipto Das(UCSB). For more, please see my publications.
