I am a Ph.D. student in the Computer Science and Engineering department at UCSD working in the Systems and Networking Group with my advisor Prof. Amin Vahdat.

Our current research focuses on some of the challenges in designing the network architecures for large data centers (including, but not limited to: routing, power, management, layout, fault-tolerance, multicast, etc.). I'm also interested in pretty much anything that has to do with the design and implementation of networked systems.
