Research Interests

  • Networking architectures and protocols
  • Network monitoring
  • Internet Economics
  • Optical Networks

    • PhD Research

    I work on multi-layer interaction issues of overlay networks, under the guidance of Prof.Mostafa Ammar. My thesis helps improve the routing performance and stability of the overlay layer in three different types of native networks:

    Oblivious (without resource constraints)
    • Mitigating the functionality overlap problems
    Restrictive (with resource and policy constraints)
    • Proactively improving overlay routing performance in a repeated game
    • Improving coexistence between BitTorrent applications and native layer
    • Mitigating the impact of native layer traffic filtering
    • Careful node placement to avoid hotspots
    Cooperative
    • Overlay-friendly native network design

    The source code and data used for most of my publications can be found here

    During the first year in the Networking group, I was part of a team (sponsored by Sprint) conducting research on multi-segment optical networks. Besides me, the team comprised of Prof.Mostafa Ammar, Dr.Admela Jukan and Yong Zhu. I investigated different schemes for end-to-end protection in such networks. A copy of a writeup describing some of the schemes can be found here.

    Master's Research

    VIDEO: I completed my Master's Thesis (titled: Intelligent Forward Error Correction for Video over CDMA) under Prof.Wu-Chi Feng . It is the outcome of my three quarters of research towards improving video quality by providing FEC in video stream. Most details on that can be found here.

    OPTICAL NETWORKS: During my Masters at OhioState, I worked on Optical networks, under the guidance of Prof.Raj Jain. In this span, I investigated the working of optical components & signaling towards lightpath provisioning. All related publications and presentations can be found here .
