Personal Web Page
(I would like to warn you though that I have not updated it for quite a while now, ever since my undergrad days. I hope to update it soon!)

Education

Current: Master of Science, Computer Science and Engineering, UC-San Diego, CA 92093, USA, (September 2008 - June 2010, Expected)
Previous: Bachelor of Technology, Computer Engineering, National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK), Suratkal 575025, India, (August 2004 - May 2008)

Research and Other Interests

I am interested in Networks and Systems, especially as applicable to Data Centers. At UCSD, I am working with Prof. Amin Vahdat's team on a fat-tree topology for Data Center networks. During my undergrad days, I briefly worked on Machine Learning, Information Retrieval and Graph Theory.

Outside of computer science, I love public policy (especially economic and foreign) and social entrepreneurship.
