Passed Qualifier Examination on 29th January 2008, more details can be found here. Committee Members: Dr. Aniruddha Gokhale, Dr. Janos Sztipanovits, Dr. Douglas C. Schmidt, Dr. Gabor Karsai, Dr. Jeff Gray M.S. in Computer Science (January 2004 -- January 2006), Advisor: Dr. Aniruddha Gokhale Dept. of EECS, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN B.E. in Electrical Engineering (1995 -- 1999), Regional Engineering College, Nagpur, India Research Experience Graduate Research Assistant, Institute for Software Integrated Systems, Vanderbilt University (January 2004 -- present) Advisor: Dr. Aniruddha Gokhale Designed and implemented a platform independent modeling language for capturing QoS requirements on middleware. Developed a model-to-model transformation algorithm to generate middleware specific QoS configuration options from these QoS requirements. Developed extensions for Bogor to support model checking of QoS configuration options generated through transformation. Research Scientist, Collaborative Applications Research, Avaya Labs (Summer 2006) Mentors: Dr. Reinhard Klemm and Dr. Dorée Seligmann Developed a negotiation framework in Asterisk PBX to facilitate intelligent enterprise dialing. It exploits context information to determine enterprise users availability and interruptibility, collects and pushes call context information even while the receiver is in an active session. Further details can be found here and here. Research Scientist, Collaborative Applications Research, Avaya Labs (Summer 2005) Mentors: Dr. Reinhard Klemm and Dr. Dorée Seligmann Designed and implemented a client-side system for context collection and propagation to improve decision-making in an enterprise. It is implemented as a browser extension that provides an enterprise middleware platform with user context information, and has been extended for Thunderbird mail client. Further details can be found here and here. Student Consultant, Bell Laboratories (Summer 2004) Mentors: Dr. Wonsuck Lee and Dr. Marina Thottan Developed hybrid systems based model for modeling of communication networks, specifically hybrid models for TCP NewReno source and router buffers. Developed a modeling language for communication networks to capture the network topology to be simulated using hybrid automata. Further details can be found here and here.
