I am a Staff Research Scientist at the United Technologies Research
Center (UTRC), broadly interested in the design, analysis and uncertainty
quantification of complex systems. Of particular interest are large
networks of continuous and discrete dynamical systems that tend to be
analytically and computationally intractable. Typical application
areas include energy efficient buildings, smart grids, social networks, UAV swarms, next generation electrical and communication networks for aircraft,
sensor networks and MEMS oscillator networks. At UTRC, I serve as
a principal investigator for DARPA's GUARD-DOG program on scalable analysis of
social networks in MapReduce. My work on decentralized clustering received the 2012 Technical Excellence Award, the highest individual award at UTRC for contributions to Science and Engineering.
Prior to joining UTRC, I earned my Ph.D. in January 2008 from Cornell
University, where I was a McMullen Fellow and won the H.D. Block
teaching award. I received my Masters and Bachelors in Aerospace
Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay in 2002.
