I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Boston University working on network protocols, transport-layer reliability, distributed systems, and space networking. My research includes recursive architectures for reliable large-scale file transfer, QUIC behavior over Internet-scale WAN paths, adaptive execution in hybrid edge–cloud systems, and recursive architectures for challenged space environments.
