My Academic Background at UCD

I belong to the UCD CS department's Networks lab.I am jointly supervised in my research work by Professor Biswanath Mukherjee and Professor Dipak Ghosal. In summer '02, I worked as a Research Assistant under them. My area of interest is Sensor Networks, more specifically, localization in Sensor Networks.

Summer Internship

Since August 2003, I am working as an intern at IPLocks Inc., San Jose. I am mainly involved in the QA process there - but recently I have been doing some development too. I work with Java, JSP and SQL when developing. When testing, I have been through an entire range of tools like JMeter, JUnit, JWebUnit, HttpUnit and Ant. The work is pretty interesting and I am learning a lot :-)!

TAing Duties

The trend continues! This time, I am the TA for the graduate course on computer and information security, ECS 235. I am working under Professor Matt Bishop. The course web-page is on my.ucdavis.edu. You'll have to be registered in the course to have a look at the web-page!

Winter Quarter 2003
I was the TA for the graduate level operating systems course, ECS 251 under Dr. Felix Wu. Here is the course web-page.

Fall Quarter 2002
I was the TA for two Grad courses:
ECS 201a - Advanced Computer Architecture under Dr. Fred Chong. Here is the course web-page.
ECS 252 - Computer Networks under Dr. Prasant Mahopatra. Here is the course web-page.

Spring '02, Winter '02, Fall '01
I have also been a TA for ECS30 under Dean Sniegowski (Spring '02), Sean Davis (Winter '02) and Dave Buscaglia (Fall '01).


Course Work

I am just about out of grad school! Still...

ECS 235 - Computer and Information Security

This is the class I am TAing for right now. I am sitting through it - interesting!

Winter Quarter 2003

FRE002 - Elementary French - Level 2.

I am not crediting the course but am sitting through it. Its a cool class!
