Bio

I am a researcher at the Mobility, Networks, and Systems group at Microsoft Research India. I am interested in Systems and Wireless Networking. I obtained a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Stony Brook University in Dec 2007. Professor Samir Das was my advisor. I had previously obtained a M.S. in Computer Science from Stony Brook University and a Bachelors in Computer Science and Engineering from University Visvesvaraya College Of Engineering in 2000.
