Research
My research area of interest is networking. I am currently performing research at the University of Wisconsin - Madison under the direction of Dr. Aditya Akella. More details can be found on the Research page.
Teaching
I have held several teaching assistant (TA) positions, had numerous guest teaching opportunities, and helped lead outreach programs. More details can be found on the Teaching page.
Other Involvement
I am currently the president of the UW-Madison Student ACM (SACM). In the past, I have served as SACM's vice president and webmaster. In Spring 2011, I served as co-coordinator for the CS department's Welcome Weekend for prospective graduate students.
During my first year of graduate studies a fellow CS graduate student and I were responsible for TGIF--a weekly department social event held on Friday afternoons. Some of our great theme weeks included a green color theme for Halloween, a tea party for the start of the annual Beard Off, an anti-valentine's day theme, and the Olympics.
