Alagappan Ramanathan
Hi There!! I am Alagappan, a 3rd year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of California Irvine, under the guidance of Dr. Sangeetha Abdu Jyothi. My current research interests revolve around the field of wide-area Internet measurements, with a focus on comprehending the impact of external factors on the Internet.
I hold a BTech degree from the National Institute of Technology Calicut, where I was fortunate to work under the guidance of Dr. Praveen Sankaran. Additionally, I have gained valuable industry experience by working at Cisco for 3 years.
Outside of my academic pursuits, I enjoy indulging in my passions for hiking, adventure sports, and anime. I am excited to share my journey and insights with you on this platform. Thank you for stopping by!
