I am a PhD student at the University of Glasgow. My research focuses on network transport protocols and multimedia. My PhD thesis, Transport-Assisted Rate Adaptation in HTTP Streaming Application, aims to improve the user video on demand quality of experience by modifying the TCP congestion control to allow higher quality video delivery on constrained links.

My Doctoral Training is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)
