I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at NJIT, where I have been since receiving my Ph.D. from Rutgers in 2004. My research interests include: mobile & ubiquitous computing; ad hoc & sensor networks; and distributed systems. More specifically, I focus on designing, implementing, and evaluating system architectures, network protocols, middleware, programming models, and security mechanisms for ubiquitous wireless systems. I always look forward to working with highly motivated students on current or new research projects.
