Research

Teaching

My research is in the area of Network Algorithms.​ This includes distributed algorithms deployed in networks and centralized algorithms used to design, operate and analyze networks.

One of the directions of my current research is understanding the cloud. For example, how can the cloud be integrated with distributed systems? How can the cloud be used as a means for communication? Another set of problems is about cloud management, e.g., job placement.

I have also worked on self stabilization, overflow management, recommender systems and other algorithmic topics.

​

At the undergraduate level, I have been teaching Operating Systems and Computer Networks, and some theory classes.
