Research
The relentless quest for connectivity among devices as well as ensuring the security of such networks has made such systems exceedingly complex. The increasing complexity makes it difficult to further improve the performance of such systems. The primary motivation of my research is to discover novel approaches to increase the performance and security of such systems.
Ad hoc Networks
An ad-hoc network
is a self-configuring network of mobile routers (and associated hosts)
connected by wireless links—the union of which form an arbitrary
topology.
The primary aim of my research is to study data routing performance in
such networks, develop novel routing approaches as well as discuss the
issue of security in the routing protocols.

High Performance in Wireless Networks
High Performance has always been an issue with wireless networks. My
work is primarily concerned with Fairness i.e. allotment of wireless
channel time to nodes and Scheduling i.e. queuing mechanisms of data
packets in a network. The work has been primarily focused on large scale
enterprise
wireless networks.

Distributed Systems
The Peer-to-Peer (P2P) paradigm for building distributed systems has
become extremely popular and has received increased attention from all
over the world. The main advantage of the paradigm is that it allows the
construction of systems with unprecedented size and robustness, mainly
due to their inherent decentralization and redundant structures, and it
enables the utilization of vast amounts of resources available on
machines connected to the Internet.
