I am an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University at Buffalo, The State University of New York. I am generally interested in distributed systems, networking, and operating systems. My current research focus is on mobile systems. Before joining UB, I graduated with PhD from UIUC in 2009 under Indranil Gupta and was a postdoc at Princeton for one year under Michael Freedman and Jennifer Rexford. I received the CAREER Award from NSF in 2014, the Young Investigator Award from UB in 2014, the Early Career Teacher of the Year Award from UB Engineering in 2015, the Teaching Innovation Award from UB in 2016, and the Distinguished Alumni Educator Award from CS at UIUC in 2017.
