• Research Interests
  • My interests lie broadly in networks and distributed systems. I am currently working on packet relay across address realms in TRIAD, a NAT-based approach to scaling the Internet.
    
    
• Education
  • '96 - present
    Stanford University, Stanford, CA.
    Ph.D. Computer Science,
    Research Advisor: Prof. David R. Cheriton.
    
  • '92 - '96
    Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay, India.
    Bachelor of Technology, Computer Science and Engineering
    (GPA: 9.71 on 10)
    
    
• Experience
  • Extensive programming experience in C, C++, Perl, Pascal, Prolog, LISP etc. and classes in Computer Networks, Distributed Systems, Cryptography and Computer Security, Visualization, Operating Systems, Computer Graphics, Artificial Intelligence, Compilers, Operations Research and Database Systems.
    
  • 6/99 - 9/99:
    Intern at Lucent Technologies (Bell Labs) in Murray Hill, New Jersey with the Network Software Research Group. I worked on content-based (layer 7) switching, including an architecure for a layer 7 switch, and an implementation in software.
    
  • 6/98 - 8/98:
    Intern at Cisco Systems in San Jose, California with the IOS Multicast group. I implemented the PGM reliable multicast protocol in the ns network simulator, and used the implementation to characterize and find a solution for the problem of multiple retransmissions for a single network loss.
    
  • 6/97 - 9/97:
    Intern at Microsoft Corporation at Redmond, Washington with a Windows NT development group. As a Software Development Engineer (SDE) Intern, I was part of a group working on NT security to allow safe execution of code downloaded off the Internet.
    
  • 7/95 - 4/96:
    Worked on Senior Thesis titled Efficient Radiosity-based Illumination Solutions under the guidance of Prof. Sharat Chandran. We proposed a new form factor algorithm to reduce aliasing inherent in the basic hemicube method without much additional cost.
    
  • 4/95 - 7/95:
    Intern at Silicon Automation Systems at Bangalore, India. As part of my internship, I contributed to the modification of the design of data structures in a VLSI design package. This involved understanding and modifying C++ code to make the classes more efficient both computationally and with respect to space.
