Research Visits

Currently, I am working as an Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Göttingen, Göttingen. Apart from my individual research work, I have also the responsibility of preparing project applications, mentoring PhD candidates and Bachelor/Master students, teaching, conducting seminars, attending international conferences and handling industrial partners. I am currently working on projects pertaining to Cloud computing, Content Centric Networking and Congestion Control.
