I am a Computer Science graduate student at UC Berkeley. My advisor is Prof. Jean Walrand in EECS. I graduated from Cornell University with a B.S. in Computer Science. I worked at Netscape for a while before coming to Berkeley. I got my M.S. degree in EECS from Berkeley and is currently finishing my Ph.D. thesis.

Research Interests:

Multi-hop ad hoc wireless (mesh) networks
Wireless protocol design, evaluation, and implementation
Internet transport protocol and web performance enhancement
QoS Issues in wireless networks
Wireless multimedia applications and middle-ware support
