Research Interests

Signal Processing for Communications, Underwater Acoustic Communications, Cooperative

Communications

and Game Theory, Full Duplex WiFi systems, Video over Wireless Networks

Current research in focused on two key areas: (1) Physical layer design for point to

point underwater links

to match the highly time-varying characteristics of the underwater acoustic channel and

(2) Determining the

feasibility, benefits and stability of cooperation in a MIMO heterogenous wireless

network with rational users.

Internships

1. Microsoft Research, Bangalore, India Jun 2011 - Sept 2011

Research intern in the Mobility, Networks and Systems (MNS) group. Design and

implementation of a

narrow channel WiFi system which allows full duplex communications, can dynamically adapt

bandwidths

based on user requirements, overcomes several deficiencies of existing WiFi systems and

solves the problem

of frequency fairness for co-existence of newer (40,80,160MHz bandwidths) and legacy

devices.

2. Qualcomm Inc, Santa Clara, California May 2010 - Aug 2010

Modeling and implementation of receiver front end distortions and antenna imbalance in

Qualcomm s

WCDMA simulator and characterizing the impact of distortions on system performance.

Results of the

analysis played a significant role in determining when to switch between different

receiver configurations.

3. Hellosoft Inc, Hyderabad, India May 2006 - July 2006

Characterizing the receiver performance by deriving tight bounds on detection error

probability in WiFi

systems using time-domain and frequency domain channel estimation techniques in the

presence of channel

and frequency offset estimation errors.
