Prateek Jain
PhD Student in Computer Science | Specializing in Network Layer Protocols
I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science at Boston University, specializing in network communication and data transfer reliability. My research includes a RINA-based Multi-Layer Error Detection model, QUIC protocol evaluation for connection migration, and dynamic operator placement at the edge for real-time stream processing. Previously, I had served as an Assistant Commandant (Technical) with CRPF India, bringing practical experience to his academic work. My projects, in collaboration with NSF and Google, aim to advance modern networking and edge computing.

He has published over 150 papers and received multiple prestigious awards, including the NSF CAREER award and several best-paper honors.
Multi-Level Error Detection (MLED) Framework
MLED is a Recursive Inter-Network Architecture (RINA) based novel approach which utilizes in-network resources to significantly reduce the probability of undetected errors (UEP) during large-scale file transfers.
