Top SchoolSarath Babu is a research-focused wireless networking engineer with a decade of experience building real-world testbeds and protocol stacks for smart, connected rural communities. He co-leads the software effort for the ARA wireless living lab, designing everything from hardware drivers and testbed OS components to 5G protocol stacks and end-to-end user experience tooling. His PhD work produced software-defined approaches for disrupted wireless environments, including SD-OLSR and an SD-DTN framework for flow control, and he is now helping bootstrap an Open RAN ecosystem for experimental research and validation. Beyond wireless, he applies complex-networks analysis to real-world systems such as road networks to inform intelligent transportation solutions. Pragmatic and low-level by nature, he develops in C and Python, lives in GNU/Linux and Emacs, and bridges deep systems engineering with deployable research impact in rural and infrastructure contexts.
