About
I am a Ph.D. student at MIT CSAIL, where I work with Hari Balakrishnan in the NMS group. I received my
bachelors in computer science and
mathematics from the University of Maryland. My advisor was
Bobby Bhattacharjee. I am
fortunate to be supported in part by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
I am interested in systems. My current work
involves measuring
inter-ISP variations in the context of wireless gateway selection,
and studying the price of anarchy in wireless mesh routing. I also
work on designing incentive-compatible bootstrapping mechanisms for
BitTorrent-like systems. My favorite algorithm is the FFT method for
multiplying polynomials. My CV is here.
