Hello and thanks for visiting. I'm a PhD student in Computer Engineering at the school of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Central Florida. I am associated with the Networking and Security Lab (NetSec).

My primary research interests lies in understanding the dynamics behind the growth of Internet eXchange Points (IXPs) and the impact of this growth on Internet topology evolution and inter-domain packet routing. Previously I have worked on designing communication protocols and movement strategies for mobile sinks in sensor networks, congestion avoidance/control in both sensor and wired networks, routing in ad-hoc/sensor networks and the 802.11 MAC protocol for ad-hoc networks.

I also work as a web application developer at the College of Graduate Studies, UCF. My work here primarily involves designing and building websites using ColdFusion, PHP, mySQL, JavaScript and AJAX among others.

I love heavy metal and play the lead guitars. A lot!
