Welcome to my Webplace!
I am currently employed as a senior research scientist in Deutsche Telekom Laboratories (T-labs), Berlin, Germany. I have received my MS and PhD degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC), where I worked in Coordinated Science Laboratory (CSL) under the supervision of Prof. Tamer Basar. >>more
Research interests
My current research areas are control, optimization, and security of networked systems building upon a background in networking and game theory. I believe in diversity and inter-disciplinary research. Consequently, I have been working on game theoretic formulations of network security, intrusion detection, and attack response; power and rate control in wireless and wired networks; distributed machine learning and social networking/search. >>more
