I am a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I am a member of the Computer Networks Research Group, co-directed by Professor James Kurose and Professor Donald Towsley. I am working with my advisor, Professor James Kurose, on a Smart Grids project. We are studying synchrophasor sensors, which measure voltage and current along transmission lines and at electric substations. We are formulating new problems for sensor placement in which the goal is to observe the entire electric grid under the condition that sensors are placed "near" enough to each other to allow for their measurements to be cross-validated.

Previously, I worked with Professor Yanlei Diao on pattern matching over data streams. Specifically, I worked on the SASE project where I designed, implemented, and evaluated real-time query processing algorithms.
