Research

I am currently developing a system to facilitate internet connectivity in low connectivity areas. I have completed a study showing that collaborative caching and predictive prefetching have moderate benefits in improving hit rates in general internet traffic. The same study showed extreme benefits for educational applications. Read more about it:

The benefits seen in the paper above have encouraged the development of a system, C-LINK, described here.
