About Me

I'm a second-year Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, advised by Professor Matthew Caesar. My full CV can be found here.

I'm interested in networked systems, currently focusing on improving the performance of wide-area and datacenter networks.

In the past, I explored two broad directions - a) understanding how would traffic engineering and congestion control systems would need to be redesigned for satellite networking (in collaboration with Professor Deepak Vasisht), and b) applying the concept of metaverse to enhance IoT pedagogy and debugging.

With my passion for building resilient and secure large-scale software systems, together with Prof. Caesar, I am leading development of a teaching and research platform for virtualizing cyber environments.
