Rahul Urgaonkar

I am a PhD student in the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. I am currently a Research Assistant in the Communication Sciences Institute and my advisor is Prof. Michael J. Neely.

I obtained a B.Tech in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay in June, 2002 and MS in Electrical Engineering from USC in May 2005.

Research

I am interested in the design and analysis of communication networks in general and wirelss, ad-hoc and sensor networks in particular. Here is a list of my papers.
