I am a Ph.D. candidate at Carnegie Mellon University working with Professor Pei Zhang. My current research focus is mobile and networked embedded systems. Under this umbrella, my interests span over a broad set of areas including distributed systems, wireless communications, operating systems and localization systems. I am co-advised by Professor Raj Rajkumar. Personal website: http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~apurohit
