My research interests lie mostly in the areas of computer networking and distributed systems. My advisor at CMU was Peter Steenkiste. For my thesis, I designed and implemented a system called Camel, which is a Content Discovery System that enables scalable and distributed content discovery in a fully distributed Peer-to-Peer fashion.

During the first few years as a graduate student, I worked on several research topics, including active and programmable networks, network resource management, and Virtual Private Networks. For more details about my research, please refer to my publications.

As of late last year, my wife and I moved back to Pittsburgh (Here we go, Steelers!) from the Bay Area. We try to go to SF as often as we can, especially when we start to miss the beautiful Pacific coastline (and my second favorite animal) along Highway 1.
