I am a Lead Member of Technical Staff in the Network Evolution Research Departmet of AT&T Labs - Research. My research interests are in the areas of network architecture and design, with special emphasis on restoration. Prior to joining AT&T, I worked at the routing and signaling group of Ciena CoreDirector switches and before that at the Networking Research Department of Lucent Bell Laboratories.

I received my B.Tech. (Computer Science) from Indian Institute of Technology (I. I. T.), Kanpur, India and my Ph.D. (Computer Science) from University of Washington, Seattle.
