I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2003 from Stony Brook University, M.S. in Computer Science in 1996 from Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai, and B.E. in Computer Engineering in 1994 from Delhi Institute of Technology. Before joining Binghamton University, I worked as an Assistant Professor in Computer Science at Florida State University (2003-2006), as a Lead Architect and Developer at Rether Networks Inc. (2000-2001) and as a Senior Software Engineer at Wipro Infotech, Bangalore (1996-1997).

Research Interests

I head the Operating Systems and Networks (OSNET) Lab at Binghamton. My research interests lie in operating systems, distributed systems, and networks, with recent focus on virtualization and wireless networks. You can find more information at my website.
