I am a postdoctoral researcher at TIM, UCSC(USA). At UCSC, my work is mainly related with network economics and pricing. I am a member of NetEcon group@UC Berkeley, EECS. My research interest are in modeling and optimization in wireless networks, smart energy management, network economics, game theory, etc.

I did my Ph.D. at Maestro, INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France in November 2010 under the supervision of Prof. Eitan Altman. My Phd thesis was titled "Advances in Network Control and Optimization".  I did M.S. at ECE., Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India in 2006 (Advisor: Prof. A. Chockalingam ). My M.S. thesis was titled "Enhancing Network Lifetime using Multiple Base Stations in WSN"(available at Amazon).
