Assistant Professor in CS at UIUC. Ex-IIT Delhi, MIT, Microsoft.
Over the last five years, I have been proud to curate and lead a fantastic group of Ph.D. students from six different countries, including US. I believed that USA was the only country where this was possible. It is a shame that we are losing that special status with each day.

One of the most important skills I teach my students&postdocs is how to communicate their research. Last week at NSF, I gave a keynote to (mostly) junior faculty on how to pitch their work. The talk resonated with many folks, so I'm sharing it publicly: www.mit.edu/~fadel/paper...

Excited that this paper won the "Best Community Contribution award" at ACMMobiCom. Check out the paper at: deepakv.web.illinois.edu/assets/paper... and our satellite-IoT simulator at: github.com/microsoft/Co...
(work led by Jay Shenoy and Om Chabra, with Tusher, Ranveer, and Suraj)
Jay Shenoy presented "CosMAC: Constellation-Aware Medium Access and Scheduling for IoT Satellites" at
ACM MobiCom on Tuesday, focusing on direct IoT to satellite connectivity (w/ Om, Ranveer, Tusher, and Suraj). We actually launched a satellite for this one.

Do you feel stressed?
Is it one thing or a combination?

Turns out bacteria can’t handle stress either!

Excited to share my first first author paper out now in @currentbiology.bsky.social!

Combining multiple stressors blocks bacterial migration and growth! www.cell.com/current-biol...

My group is presenting two papers on LEO satellite networking this week. Seoyul Oh presented "A Call for Decentralized Satellite Networks" at
#HotNets on Monday, proposing collaborative multi-party constellations that improve efficiency and quality of service.
