:: About
I work for the Applications and Software Research Center at Motorola Labs. My research includes designing enablers for next generation mobile systems, distributed middleware, ad-hoc computing and cross-layer techniques for power optimization in portable systems. I am also interested in Game Theory, Incentive Models and Security for mobile environments.
