Before joining Qualcomm, I was fortunate enough to be hosted by Prof. François Baccelli. I spent two fascinating years in Paris, France, where I was a member of DYOGENE, LINCS, and INRIA. Before that, I was a Simons postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Baccelli at the University of Texas at Austin, Texas, USA and a postdoctoral research associate with Prof. Martin Haenggi at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, USA. Prior to that, I received my PhD in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur, where I was advised by Prof. Adrish Banerjee.

My broad research area is Wireless Communications. In modern world, almost everyone (including a new-born baby) has been in touch with smartphones. And almost everyone owning a smartphone--willingly or unwillingly--has heard hot words "WiFi, 3G, 4G, and 5G." And many probably have wondered why sometimes the wireless internet on their phones works fast and sometimes slow. I do also wonder the same. Through my work, I try to understand what factors impact the quality of wireless communication and propose ways to improve it. I use mathematical and simulation techniques to analyze the performace of wireless communication and obtain insights that aid in designing better wireless world.

In particular, my current work interests are:

• Wireless networks (cellular, ad hoc, vehicular)
• Queueing theory
• Green communications
• Spectrum sharing
