Sumit Rangwala

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt

Brief Biography and Research Interests

I am a PhD student at Embedded Networks Laboratory in the Computer Science Department of University of Southern California. My advisor is Dr. Ramesh Govindan. I received my M.S. in Computer Science from University of Southern California and B.E. in Computer Engineering from S.G.S.I.T.S, India. Prior to joining University of Southern California I worked for a year at Texas Instruments, Research and Development Center, Bangalore, India.

My current research broadly focuses on wireless and ad-hoc sensor networks. Currently, I am designing a congestion control scheme for wireless networks. My Resume provides a brief summary of my current and past research projects. I will soon be graduating and looking for full-time position.
