My primary interest is in the design and optimization of computer networks. Specifically, I am interested in the design of communication networks that are scalable, evolvable, and can work smartly with minimal human involvement. I am currently interested in network control and management issues in both traditional large-scale data networks and emergent virtualized networks.

I constantly try to find an excuse for taking photographs. A somewhat old sample of them can be found here.
