Broadly, I am interested in systems and networking. At Harvard, I am part of the CitySense  and Hourglass projects. I also work on DenseAP, a scalable architecture to manage a dense deployment of 802.11 access points in the enterprise. DenseAP is a collaborative effort with Jitendra Padhye and Ranveer Chandra.

During the summer of 2005, I interned at Microsoft Research, Bangalore, working with Chandramohan Thekkath and Kentaro Toyama on theorizing a framework for cost-aware switching in mobile devices such as phones, PDAs etc.

As an undergraduate student at Cornell, I worked with Saikat Guha and Professor Emin Gun Sirer on the Sextant localization project. I also spent a semester working with Venugopalan Ramasubramanian on building an early prototype for Corona. During my senior year, I worked with Professor Ken Birman on designing routing protocols for group communication in mobile ad-hoc networks.

During my undergraduate years, I spent the summers as a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow (SURF) at the Networking Laboratory at Caltech.

My research work is supported by a Microsoft Research fellowship.
