Facebook Inc.
Doctoral Researcher (2014-2016)
Compas Lab, Department of Computer Science, Stony Brook University
Performed Kernel instrumentation for detailed TCP stack analysis. The aim was to debug performance trends of network based applications. This involves rewriting major portions of network stack.
Master’s Research Assistant (2011-2013)
Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati
Barrier, defense line around or along an area to ensure detection of events of a specific kind. Crafted and developed a system to decentralize the formation of barriers across randomly deployed camera-fitted sensors.
Undergraduate Researcher (2009-2011)
Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad
Developed a semantic search framework, that performs metadata and content based detailed indexing. The framework further enhances the quality of metadata by extracting missing fields from online databases.
