About me:

I graduated with a Ph.D. from the Computer Science Department at University of California, San Diego in 2007. I am now at HP Labs, Palo Alto.

My research interests include computer networks, distributed systems and mobile computing. I got my MS in Computer Science from Duke University in Dec 2003. I moved to UCSD in Jan 2004 to continue working with my advisor Dr. Amin Vahdat. I also have a Masters in Applied Statistics & Informatics from Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay.

Research:

My current research Orbis focuses on analyzing Internet topologies and building network topology generators to accurately recreate both AS-level and router-level topologies.

In the recent past, I worked on analyzing AS-level topologies extracted from different data sources such as BGP, traceroute and IRR. The results of my analysis are available at this supplement , that I created for CAIDA . In addition to the final plots that compare different topologies, I've also included my scripts for computing the different metrics, and the AS graphs extracted from various data sources.

My previous research includes ModelNet , an emulation environment for Internet-scale networks and MobiNet, an emulation environment for ad-hoc wireless networks.
