I am currently an Assistant Professor in Computer Science at IIT-Hyderabad.

I lead NetX lab. My group works at the intersection of Systems, Networks, and Security. Our focus is on designing and building networked systems that make networks easy to manage, secure, and robust, by using exciting emerging technologies such as Software-Defined Networking and Programmable Data Planes (P4, eBPF, smartNICs, PISA switch)

I am actively looking for full time candidates to work on some exciting research problems in the above areas for atleast one year. If you are interested, please apply by filling this form. We will screen the applications and get back to you.
