My research style lies at the juncture of theory and practice. While much of my work tends to be mathematical and programming in terms of the tools I use, the problems I seek to solve originate from practical engineering considerations in communications and networks. I am particularly interested in determining the theoretical limitations of systems by modeling and simulation, and in determining how these theoretical limitations guide the architecture of new communication systems.

Research interests

My research interests lie in the following main areas: Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networks; wireless communications, Ad-Hoc Sensor Networks; Communication-based Train Control (CBTC) systems; and recently in Software Defined Netwolrks/Network virtualization Function (SDN/NVF).

News:

I am the Chair of International Workshop on Physics Inspired Paradigms in Wireless Communications and Networks (PHYSCOMNET) to be held alongside WiOpt 2015 (The 13th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc and Wireless Networks) in May 2015, Bombay, INDIA.
