Current and Past Research

The current research focus is in the area of Cloud Computing via Virtualization, specifically, Server Consolidation and Dynamic Resource Provisioning for virtualized services. I am part of SynerG group and proVM group here at IIT Bombay. In the remote past, I have briefly worked in the areas of VOIP telephony, as well as Energy-harvesting sensor networks.
