I am a fourth year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at Purdue University. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur in May 2008. I am a working as a research assistant with Prof. Ramana Rao Kompella since August 2008.



Research


My research focuses on TCP performance and routing in data center networks.
  • TCP Outcast: exposing TCP throughput unfairness in Data Center Networks.
  • Phishnet: predictive blacklisting against phishing websites.
  • dFault: fault localization in Large-Scale Peer-to-Peer Systems.
  • Spotlight: fault diagnosis in Enterprise Networks.
