About Me

I have been in the Ph.D. program in Computer Science at Cornell University for longer than I can remember (four years? five years? something like that). My research interests lie in computer networks; both in understanding and fixing problems in existing networks and in exploring the design space of future networks.

I have conspired with Paul Francis (thesis advisor), Emin Gün Sirer, Andrew Myers, Neil Daswani, Ravi Jain, Pablo Rodriguez, Christos Gkantsidis, Ante Derek, Jaideep Chandrasekhar, Dina Papagiannaki, and Nina Taft on how to achieve world domination through research in network systems. As a first step, I have overcome guilt by spreading pain and suffering as a teaching assistant for Data Structures and Functional Programming, Advanced Operating Systems and Operating Systems Practicum, and have trained legions of minions as an instructor for Introduction to C at Cornell. I have cunningly managed to get DoCoMo USA Labs, Microsoft Research, and Google to unwittingly contriute to my plans of world domination over the past few summers. The only concern, however, is that being from eastern India, my weakness for food is overpowering and easily exploited. Anyone can delay my plans for world domination by mailing gourmet free-food (or coupons) to the address on the right. Do it now!
