About me

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the EECS department at MIT, working with Prof. Eytan Modiano at the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS). My research is on modeling, analysis and design of communication networks, with emphasis on wireless and real-time networks. My current focus is on scheduling problems in networked control systems, robotics and federated learning.

Priot to my time at MIT, I received a B.Tech. with Honors in Electrical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-B). There, I worked with Prof. Sharayu Moharir on resource allocation in wireless networks.

Research

My research interests include

  • Communication Networks

  • Robotics

  • Control & Optimization

I currently work on designing scheduling policies for the consistent delivery of timely information in wireless and mobile networks. Applications include internet-of-things, networked control systems, multi-agent robotics and federated learning.

My work typically involves formulating a theoretical model that captures the main details of a problem to be studied, but still remains analytically tractable. Then, I analyze this model to gain new insights; using tools from probability, optimization and algorithms. More recently, I have also been interested in building new wireless systems that verify our fundamental theoretical results in practice. A short video describing some of this work is linked below -
