I am a PhD student in the Computer Science Department of Rice University. Since May, 2006 I am spending time at Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, Saarbrucken, Germany , working with my advisor Dr. Peter Druschel. My research is aimed at designing, prototyping and evaluating Internet scale networked and distributed systems. I have hands on experience in building peer-to-peer digital content distribution systems.
