I finished my PhD from Georgia Tech under a truly amazing advisor. I then spent a few months holding a post-doctoral position at the Center for Mobile Computing, Dartmouth College, under the supervision of Prof. David Kotz. Now I w ork at Intel Corporation, and am currently located in Portland, Oregon.

Beyond work, I spend time watching lots of movies and Seinfeld episodes (with endless repetition), doing very amateurish photograph y, and trying to convince everybody to switch to mac.

My research interests lie in Large scale Distributed Systems, Error Correcting Codes, Security and Cryptography. In general I am very excited about learning new theoretical ideas (algorithms, complexity theory, signal processing, geometry and so on), and then to apply them in real-life practical problems.
