Biographical Sketch

I am a PhD student working under the direction of Professor John A. Stankovic at the University of Virginia.

My research is in the area of networked systems, with an emphasis on wireless networking for sensor and ad hoc systems. I am broadly interested in algorithm, graph theory, distributed computing, operating systems, date mining and application development.
