I am a 2nd year PhD student at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems. My advisor is Krishna Gummadi. I received my M.S degree in Computer Science & Engineering from IIT Madras where I was advised by Prof. C. Siva Ram Murthy. I completed my BTech from Govt. Model Engineering College, Kochi, Kerala.

I am currently doing an internship at Microsoft Research, Redmond, working with Emre Kiciman and Stefan Saroiu.

Research:

My research interests broadly lie in the area of networked and distributed systems. At a high level, my current work focuses on understanding how large scale online social networks (OSNs) work, and leveraging OSNs to build better systems.
