About Me
I am a researcher at Microsoft Research India. I completed my Ph.D. in 2009 at Cornell Univeristy under Paul Francis, and worked briefly as a post-doctoral researcher at MPI-SWS.
My current research interests lie in privacy in cloud computing. I am particularly interested in safeguarding user privacy that does not disrupt the emerging business models behind cloud computing. I am currently working on a systems approach to private online advertising. Previously I worked on evolving the Internet architecture using signaling, specifically TCP NAT Traversal, End-Middle-End Internet architecture, and mitigating unwanted traffic. I have also dabbled in projects in the Peer-to-peer and mobile space.
