I am an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at LUMS.
I am broadly interested in networked systems.
My current research centers on two themes: (1) Rethinking the architecture and design of next-generation cellular networks to enable
emerging real-time applications and (2) Rethinking the design of the Web for improving affordability, inclusiveness, and user experience.
Prior to LUMS, I was a postdoc with Sylvia Ratnasamy and Scott Shenker at UC Berkeley. I received my PhD at State University of New York where I worked with Vyas Sekar and Samir Das.
