About Me
I am currently at Instart Logic. I graduated with a PhD in Computer Sciences from UW-Madison. My research interests are in networking and systems. During my graduate years, I mostly worked on leveraging redundancy in network traffic for better traffic engineering and improving application latency and performance. I worked with Prof. Aditya Akella. My research work has been supported by a Google PhD Fellowship (2011-2012).Research Projects
