Sanjay Rao works on computer networking, with a focus on how data moves efficiently across networks like the internet and data centers. His research covers video streaming quality, content delivery networks (systems that cache and distribute web content), software-defined networking (a way to programmatically manage network behavior), and more recently using natural language to configure and manage networks. He also studies networking challenges for drone (UAS) video transmission over long distances.
