Bio

I am a Research Scientist at IBM Research working on Cloud Networking. I have contributed to various networking initiatives in observability (netobserv-ebpf-agent) and multi-cloud networking (Clusterlink). Recently, I have been working on Paraglider Project, an LF project on Cloud networking abstraction with UC Berkeley, Microsoft and Google.

Prior to joining IBM, I was a Research Fellow at CIR Lab under School of Computing, National University of Singapore. I completed my PhD under the guidance of Prof. Chan Mun Choon. My Thesis is 'Improving Network Diagnostics using Programmable Networks'. My Research focussed on Programmable Networks, Software Defined Networking, Network Virtualization and Mobile Communication technologies.
