Currently I am pursuing my PhD under the dept. of Networks and Distributed Systems. The primary focus of my research is to construct a robust overlay network that is resilient to the node/link failure, and provides QoS to the video streaming. Establishing the overlay-underlay cross layer communication, utilizing the heterogeneous links over the Internet, and tackling the high 'churn' rate are the main challenges of my research. In addition to this, my research interests include Bootstrapping and Node placement in wireless sensor network.
