RESEARCH PROJECTS_ ________________________________________________________ ___ ___ ______

• (Ongoing) Video Streaming in Developing Regions: measured performance of video streaming on low-end
Android mobile devices to identify and quantify the device and network bottlenecks. Currently working on
using control theory and machine learning to develop device-aware ABR algorithms.
• (Ongoing) Early Detection of Epidemics: training a Hidden Markov Model on occurrence rate of an
infectious disease. The results will be benchmarked against other models used in Epidemiology.
• Query Optimization for Symbolic Execution: devised a few optimizations to speed up solving of queries
using z3 SMT solver. The optimizations can potentially reduce the running time by 30 times or more in
certain cases.
