I am a researcher in the Mobility, Networks, and
Systems
Group. My research interests are in architecture, protocol and performance
issues in next generation wired and wireless networks. Here is a short bio.
Projects
I am currently working in the following areas:
- Mobile device energy management
- Enterprise traffic characteristics
Previously at Bell Labs, NJ, I worked on a number of
interesting projects.
