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

The desire to excel is exclusive of the fact whether someone else appreciates it or not. "Excellence" is a drive form inside, not outside. Excellence is not for someone else to notice, but for your own satisfaction and efficiency - Unknown
