About me

I finished my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the College of Information and Computer Sciences, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, in the Summer of 2015. I completed my masters in 2007 from IIT Bombay and worked in Oracle India from 2007-2009 as a Software Engineer before starting my Ph.D.

I was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science at Seattle University (SU) between fall-2015 to winter-2022. At SU, I engaged in teaching, supervising graduate and undergraduate research projects, advising undergraduate capstone projects, scholarship, and service activities. I enjoyed teaching extensively in the master's, graduate certificate, and undergraduate programs in the department.

Recently, I founded Wisdom Academy (WA), an online education academy teaching computer science and professional development courses. So far, I have published five courses related to Computer Organization, Operating Systems, and Leadership. At the time of this writing, we have 7000+ students enrolled from 140+ countries.

Research Interests

My research interests lie in Smart Grids, Distributed Systems and Networking, Cyber-Physical Systems, and Sustainability. My research has broadly focused on large scale networks, smart grids, and sustainability in smart buildings. My thesis focuses on cyber-physical systems related research in smart buildings and smart grids to optimize energy consumption and to cut electricity bills. I have also worked on optimizing resource utilization in Internet backbone networks.
