I am a Postdoctoral fellow in Chair of Connected Mobility, Technical University of Munich, Germany with Prof. Dr. Jörg Ott.
I did my Ph.D. (Marie Curie Fellow) in Collaborative Networking research group at Department of Computer Science, University of Helsinki, Finland in 2019 with Prof. Dr. Jussi Kangasharju. My thesis focused on providing enabling protocols for edge computing.
My Ph.D. thesis has been awarded Outstanding Ph.D. dissertation award 2020 by IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC).

Research Overview
I consider myself as a "distributed systems" guy as I have always been involved in various domains (read "avatars") of this field. "Divided we stand, united we fall" is my motto in the context of computer networking research.
Edge Computing
A broad theme of my research explores the physical deployment, specifications and
effective utilization of compute resources at the network "edge".
The problem is complex primarily due to different requirements imposed by emerging
applications. For example,
Internet-of-Things need data aggregation, autonomous vehicles require
graphical processing,
automated industry necessitates task interoperability and AR/VR demands
ultra-low network latency.
Incorporating such varying application demands to model an always available,
semi-managed network of edge servers
is something I quite enjoy.
| Selected Publications | CCR '22 EdgeSys '22 HotNets '20 AoT '17 |
Next Generation Network Protocols
Emerging applications have significantly changed the way we interact with the underlying
network.
Our old-yet-faithful protocol, TCP has started to show cracks in performance,
especially in cellular and wireless environments.
I enjoy exploring and designing next-generation internet protocols which can plug-in
several existing performance holes.
For this measure, I am interested in working on protocols such as Multipath TCP (MPTCP),
5G and Information Centric Network (ICN).
| Selected Publications | Networking '18 Mobicom '18 |
Blockchains and Distributed Ledgers
While edge computing has gathered quite a traction in research community, the management
and operation of such large
semi to fully decentralized compute facilities in real world remains an open question.
Blockchains and Distributed Ledgers
emerge as a probable technology which can allow edge providers to gain revenue, auction
resources and sign service level agreements
with application providers. I am currently exploring how this technology can alleviate
other open operability issues plaguing real-world
deployment of edge clouds.
| Selected Publications | IWCI '21 ICDCS '19 HotEdge '19 |
Application & Service Deployment
There is a rapid shift in the make-up of cloud computing as cloud providers try to
incorporate edge resources and edge accelerators
widely distributed in the region. The brunt of the complexity will be borne by existing
cloud-based application as they need to depart
from traditional monolithic client-server model. Another aim of my research is to devise
intelligent softwarized applications and services
which can adapt, adjust and adopt to changes in underlying compute infrastructure
without sacrificing performance or quality-of-service.
| Selected Publications | TCC '22 Networking '21 ICC '20 HotNets '18 |
Internet-wide Measurements
I am interested in analyzing and challenging several widespread preconceptions within
networking research community via real-world measurements. The problems I particularly
tackle in this domain range from performance analysis of transport protocols (TCP, QUIC,
etc.) in varying environments and workloads, Internet-wide scans to analyze support for
emerging protocols and widescale measurments to analyze cloud/CDN reachability.
