About:

I am a Ph.D. student at EPFL, in the Distributed Information Systems Laboratory (LSIR) under the supervision of prof. Karl Aberer. My main interests are P2P networks, Semantic Web, Entity Resolution, Middleware, Distributed Systems and Machine Learning.

I have my Masters in Computers and Communication Systems, EPFL , with a specialization in Networking and Mobile Communications. My master thesis was about Multi-hop network simulations at IBM Research Labs, Zurich. Prior to my masters I worked for couple of years as a Software Engineer at Qwest Communications. I have my Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering from IIT-Madras.

Projects

OKKAM

The OKKAM project aims at enabling the Web of Entities, a global virtual space for publishing and managing information and knowledge about entities. The Web of Entities will be the result of enabling the smooth integration of decentralized information sources, made possible by supporting the use (and reuse!) of global unique identifiers for entities: ideally, the same thing will be referred to by the main ID anywhere on the Web or large organizational networks.

Nepomuk

NEPOMUK brings together researchers, industrial software developers, and representative industrial users, to develop a comprehensive solution for extending the personal desktop into a collaboration environment which supports both the personal information management and the sharing and exchange across social and organizational relations.

P-Grid

P-Grid is a truly decentralized structured P2P system which does not require central coordination or knowledge. It is based purely on randomized algorithms and local interactions and targeted at environments with low online probabilities of peers.

Gridvine

Gridvine is a semantic overlay network, with data independence from the underlying storage layer
