About

I am a Prime Minister’s Research Fellow (PMRF) in the Computer Science & Engineering Department, at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. My research broadly focuses on Networked Systems and the Internet of Things (IoT).

At IIT Kanpur, I work with Amitangshu Pal and Debopam Bhattacherjee. We evaluate and simulate/emulate emerging networks and compute infrastructures in low Earth orbit (LEO). Our work aims to understand key design trade-offs, performance bottlenecks, and explores system-level approaches to address these challenges.

Our recent research investigates the design of LEO broadband satellite constellations. Measures satellite network connectivity implications and orbital decay due to space weather events.
