About Me
I was born and brought up at Nagpur, a city in Maharashtra, India. I have a Bachelor in Computer Science from BITS, Pilani, India. After BE, I completed Masters in Information Networking from Carnegie Mellon Univerty, Pittsburgh, USA. And currently, I am a PhD student at College of Computing in Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA. My research interests encompass systems in general with particular inclination towards virtualization, embedded and real time systems as well as distributed systems. I love to work on systems which impose stringent requirements in terms of software design and coding and call for innovative solutions. It is this love and extreme fascination for challenges that has drawn me into the amazing world of research!
Apart from chatting, making lots of friends and enjoying with them, I like to play guitar and synthesizer. I also like to play badminton and have been trying my hands at some new games these days.
