Department of Computer Science and Engineering
University of California, San Diego





I am a PhD student in  Computer Science working with the Systems and Networking Group at UC San Diego advised by Professor Amin Vahdat. I completed my Master's at UCSD in 2011. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in 2007 from IIIT-Allahabad India.

My research interests is in area of systems, data center networks, distributed networks and network security.   Currently, my focus is on integrating the end host stack (application, OS and NIC) with data center network fabric. I believe that by coupling the end host and the data center network fabric it is possible to achieve stringent performance properties of next generation data center networks and applications.
