I was a Ph.D. candidate in the Computer
Science Department at Columbia
University. I received my Ph.D. degree in February 2011. My advisor was Prof.
Henning Schulzrinne. I received M.S. in Computer Science from Columbia in May 2004,
and B.S. in Computer System Engineering
from GIK Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology, Pakistan.
I now work at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center. Here is a link to my IBM page.

My research at IBM Watson Lab is focused on cloud computing, particularly, oversubscription,
patch management, SLAs, software defined networking, and OpenStack. I am a co-author of
SPEC
OSGcloud benchmark framework report, and am currently working on the standardization of cloud
benchmark.
My PhD work was focused on the reliability, session quality, protocol design and
standardization, measurement, and energy efficiency issues in peer-to-peer communication
systems. I had proposed an analytical model for understanding reliability in these
systems. The model allows system designers to compare the reliability of client-server
VoIP systems like Vonage to p2p systems like Skype. I had
built OpenVoIP, an open
source, open protocol, peer-to-peer communication system and scaled it to 1,000 nodes
on ~500 Planet Lab machines. Motivated by the use of TCP in Skype for traversing firewalls,
I studied TCP's
delay performance for real-time applications such as VoIP and live video streaming.
I was the first to analyze the workings of
the Skype protocol. I am also active in
the IETF's P2PSIP working group and working on the standardization
of a peer-to-peer protocol.
I also explored the energy efficiency issues in IP-based communication systems.
I am also interested in performance issues in multicore servers and am intrigued by the
tradeoffs and dependencies between reliability, performance, and energy tradeoffs
in data centers.
