I am a Research Scientist at the Networking & Distributed Systems Lab at Hewlett Packard Labs in Bay Area, California. I joined in September 2022.
Previously, I received my Ph.D. in Computer Engineering at Northeastern University, Boston, in December 2022. I was advised by Dr. Dimitrios Koutsonikolas at the NU Wireless Networking and Systems (NU WiNS) Lab.
My research interests broadly focus on wireless networks, on both the WiFi and cellular sides. Specifically, I am interested in improving wireless link performance by developing solutions across the networking stack (MAC layer and above), enabling new applications over the latest wireless technologies (WiFi 6/7, 5G/6G) and overall improving end user quality of experience (QoE) when interacting with wireless networks.

Bio
I am originally from New Delhi, India. I pursued my Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Manipal Institute of Technology, Karnataka, India. I received my B.Tech. degree in 2016.
I moved to Buffalo, New York in August 2016 to pursue my Master's of Science (MS) degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the University at Buffalo, The State University of New York. During this time, I worked in the ODIn Lab on probabilistic databases. I received my MS degree in 2018.
In January 2021, I moved to Boston, Massachusetts as I transferred from the University at Buffalo to Northeastern University to continue my PhD under Dr. Koutsonikolas. In September 2022, I moved to Bay Area, Calfornia as I joined Hewlett Packard Labs as a Research Scientist.
