Research Interests
My research interests include networking and distributed systems. While I like problems with an algorithmic flavor, I have developed an interest in system building in the last couple of years. I am currently working in wireless networks. In particular, I am interested in monitoring and diagnosing problems in wireless networks. Here is my CV [ pdf ].
