Ramanuja Kalkunte

Researcher — Optical Networks, Traffic Engineering, and ML for Network Operations

  • Ph.D. Candidate, UC Davis
  • Optical Networks
  • Traffic Engineering
  • ML for Networking

I develop user-centric solutions for network operators, applying machine learning where it delivers clear operational benefits. Recent work includes traffic management in multi-band optical networks, strategic migration to multi-band systems, and soft-failure localization.

Machine Learning (ML)

  • Effective network upgrades in multi‑band EONs using LSTM and related tools to reduce CapEx.
  • Resource re‑provisioning in multi‑band optical networks with ML models to estimate signal quality for path provisioning based on current network state.

Traffic Engineering in EONs

  • Strategies to enhance network throughput by exploiting diverse traffic characteristics.
  • Re‑provisioning strategies to reduce blocking probability and delay upgrades.
