I am a PhD student specializing in Networking for Real-time Systems, advised by Prof. Sibin Mohan.

The goal of my research is to design safety-critical networks that are predictable and deterministic (hence safer), resilient to failures and cheaper (using commodity protocols and hardware). Examples of domains where my research is useful include : Automotive Networks, Industrial Control Systems, Power Grid (Substation) Networks and Aerospace Networks. Prior to Illinois, I obtained Masters and Bachelors degrees from UC San Diego and NIT/REC Tiruchirappalli.

I am interested collaborating with undergraduate/masters students particularly interested in embedded systems, so please do reach out to me if you are interested in working on projects together.
