I received my PhD from the Department of Computer Science
at the During my PhD, I interned at the research labs of Google Inc from
February to July, 2007. Starting February 2008, I joined Yahoo! Inc. as a
software engineer in the Yahoo! Open Strategy platform. I received my bachelor degree from the Computer Science and
Automatic Control Department, Resume: pdf. Research Interests I am interested in solving theoretical and applied problems
arising in sensor and ad-hoc networks, communication networks, and computer
systems. In general, my research style is to try to formalize optimization
problems capturing the essence of real-world problems, find policies that are
optimal for these problems, and finally use experimentation to validate the
performance of the discovered policy in as real of a setting as possible. My
current research lies in designing energy-efficient data management protocols
for next-generation large-scale sensor networks. Publications Conferences: 1. “STDCS:
