Rina Panigrahy
RESEARCHER
.
I am a researcher at Microsoft Research in Mountain View since Feb 07. I have worked on several topics ranging from engineering problems such as fast regular expression for worm detection in networks, distributed caching for content delivery networks to complexity of algorithms such as high dimensional search, hashing, sketching and streaming. I am particularly interested in algorithmic issues that arise in practice. In the past I was at Stanford 2004-2006, Cisco Systems (Engineer): 1998-2006, MIT 1995-1997, and IIT Bombay 1991-1995.
