I am a fourth year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University. I am a part of the CATER and NeWS research groups, co-advised by Lakshmi Subramanian and Jinyang Li.

Broadly, I am interested in systems and networking, with an emphasis on mobile computing and wireless communication. I deeply believe in the potential of technology to transform lives, especially in the developing world. My research therefore focuses on different techniques to provide very low-cost connectivity in such regions. You can find more information about my research here.

Prior to NYU, I completed an M.S. in Computer Science at Iowa State University, advised by Prof. Lu Ruan. I finished my B.E. in Computer Science and Engineering from R.V. College of Engineering, Bangalore.
