I am currently a Post Doctoral Researcher at the University of California, Riverside with Prof. K. K. Ramakrishnan in Computer Science Department. I received my Ph.D. degree from University of Göttingen in July 2018. I have completed my Masters of Science in Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California in May 2010. I received my Bachelors in Computer Science and Engineering from National Institute of Engineering, Mysore.
My research interests include Network Function Virtualization, Software Defined Networking, Cloud Computing, Cloud Security, Parallel and Distributed Systems, Disaster Management, Power and Performance Optimizations.
