Info
I am an assistant professor of teaching in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York. My research is on operating systems and embedded systems. I obtained my PhD in Computer Science at the University at Buffalo under supervision of Dr Dantu. Prior to that, I had studied Electrical Engineering. I got my BSc in Sharif University of Technology and my MSc in University at Buffalo. My current research targets modern battery-powered systems, and providing them with appropriate mechanisms to be able to track, account for, and manage energy.Research Interests
