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 Software Engineer working on Cisco's Smart Grid Initiative (with Arch Rock team), combining my past experiences in wireless (sensor) networks, embedded systems, cloud computing, and machine learning to design an e-2-e communication architecture for smart grid.
Before joining the smart grid project, I worked on Cisco's flagship cloud computing project on data center (network) virtualization. (Virtualized Multi-Tenant Data Center). Prior to that, I was a Post Doctoral Associate at WINLAB working with Prof. Dipankar Raychaudhuri.
I completed my doctorate under the guidance of Prof. Ramesh Govindan at Embedded Networks Laboratory in Computer Science at the University of Southern California and my B.E. in Computer Engineering from S.G.S.I.T.S, India. Before joining USC, I spent a year at Texas Instruments, Research and Development Center, Bangalore, India.
My current interests are in smart grid, distributed systems, and data analytics with increasing interest and experience in machine learning. I have worked on data center virtualization, cognitive radio networks, 802.11-based wireless mesh networks (congestion control in particular), and wireless sensor networks (embedded networks).
