I am currently a third year graduate student at the Department
of Computer Science at
Princeton University.
I previously obtained a B.Tech in Computer
Science and Engineering from IIT Madras in 2006.
Distributed Systems
Computer Networks
Operating Systems
At Princeton, I work with Prof. Vivek S. Pai. We are working on making the Internet better for developing regions. Resources like memory, network and CPU are vital for systems used by developing regions. We are working to provide systems that perform well in highly resource constrained settings. Take a look at our CCC position paper for an overview of our research goals.
Currently, I am at Intel Pittsburgh Research Lab from June 2nd till Sept 2nd 2009 for a summer internship. I am working with Michael Kaminsky, Dina Papagiannaki, Dave Andersen and Shrini Seshan on the Neighborhood Aware Networks project.
During summer 08, I was at HP Labs, Princeton, for a summer internship. I was working with Jack Brassil towards developing a transport protocol in the presence of a mechanism to guarantee explicit band width to a link between 2 hosts. Anangran is a company which manufatures routers which provide such bandwidth guarantees for end-to-end links involving these routers.
Previously, I worked with Prof. Sivaram Murthy at HPCN Lab for my undergraduate thesis work. The work was about developing new protocols for video multicast in ad hoc wireless networks.
Before that, I interned at IBM during the summer after the 3rd year at IIT Madras. There I worked on developing a middleware for applications that can utilize parallel processing. I was working with Jagir Hussan, who is now a researcher at University of Auckland, New Zealand. It was a great experience to work at a giant research institution like IBM.
