E-Mail Address: My first name dot my last name  at sprint and the usual dot com  

I am currently a member of the IP Group at Sprint Labs.   I   finished my Phd program at the Electrical and Systems Engineering Dept.  from University of Pennsylvania, where I was a part of the Multimedia and Networking Lab. My thesis was in the area of IP networks,  supervised by Dr. Roch Guèrin.
A long time ago,  I obtained my Bachelor's in Electronics Engineering from Regional Engineering College, Nagpur  in June 1997 and my Masters in Telecommunication from the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore in Dec 1998.

The last 4 years when I was at Penn, my focus was on traffic engineering, with emphasis on routing algorithms that are practical to implement on the existing IP routing architecture. My current interests, after joining Sprint Labs have expanded to include cellular and wireless networks, network monitoring and measurement and even (hopefully) a future foray into the security field.
