High School
I completed my schooling from Stewart School, Bhubaneswar, India… the ’94 pass out batch.
We have the stewart_batchof94 yahoo group where quite a lot of guys ‘n gals are still 
   in touch. Currently we have around 15 registered members.  I passed the I.C.S.E. examination with an aggregate 87.3%
After high school, I completed my 12th in B.J.B. College, Bhubaneswar. Tough 2 years; but were worth the effort :-)
I was ranked 13th overall in the state level examination among 10000+ appearing students.

Undergraduate in Computer Science and Engineering  
I did my undergraduate major in Computer Science and Engineering from Regional Engineering College, Calicut,
  India. The college has recently acquired automous status and has been renamed as National Institute of Technology, Calicut.
I graduated out from the college in July’2000  with an aggregate marks of 75% ( cummulative G.P.A of 3.86 in 4.0 scale).

Professional Work Experience  
I gained work experience in Wipro Technologies Ltd., Bangalore, India for exactly an year( July 2000 – July 2001).
  I was in the CDF( Cisco Development Facility) unit, specifically involved in projects in the
MSSBU (Multi Service Switching Business Unit) test automation group. The projects basically focussed in testing and maintanence 
of Cisco broadband ATM switches. Prior to work, I had received professional training within Wipro Technologies Ltd. in the
networking related field.

Graduate Studies
I decided to pursue my higher studies, and sucessfully graduated with a Master degree in Computer Science, University of Arizona.
I have a cummulative G.P.A of 3.6 in 4.0 scale. And I have every reason to speak high of the excellent infrastructure
and disciplined study in my department.

Research Interest and Post Graduate Studies
My primary area of interest is compilers. I'm basically interested in code analysis and application of compiler techniques in
software security. I'm currently doing my research work under Dr.Christian Collberg, Assistant Professor,
Dept. of Computer Science, University of Arizona. The project SandMark focusses on software watermarking and
code obfuscation which primarily intends to discourages software piracy and protect intellectual property. I have
been a part of the research team for more than a year and done substantial work under Dr.Collberg's direct supervision.
For more information about the project, do visit the project site: www.cs.arizona.edu/sandmark
My other area of interest lies in embedded systems. Specifically, I'm interested in compiler optimization techniques and memory
design forefficient power consumption without much performance degradation in low power embedded systems.

As of my future plans, I intend to pursue my doctoral degree in Computer Science.
