I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Engineering department at University of California, San Diego (UCSD), advised by Professor George Porter. I am also part of the Systems and Networking group (SysNet) at UCSD.

My research interests broadly lie in computer networks.

Prior to UCSD, I was a Research Scholar at Carnegie Mellon University and was advised by Professor Justine Sherry and Professor Srinivasan Seshan.
