Research

 

My area of research in PhD included : (a) routing in Delay Tolerant Networks, (b) Vehicular Ad hoc Networks, and (c) Trust and Security in Wireless Sensor Networks, (d) Recommendation Systems, (e) Disaster evacuation recommendation/modeling.

Apart from research, my other areas of interest include software development, web application designing, database programming, and online tutoring of various technical topics from the field of IT. My future targets include development of energy efficient, secure, and trustworthy applications for opportunistic computing environments such as emergency response systems, post disaster recovery scenarios, and vehicular communications.
