Research Summary
My research has focused on Internet routing, software defined networks, Internet topology, network monitoring, network security, privacy, and network simulation.
I use network measurements, like routing data and traffic traces, to understand how complex systems work in practice, which then helps drive my research to building prudent solutions that address key deficiencies.
I try to distill complex real-world problems into clear formulations and to investigate suitable solutions leveraging when possible on established theory, like data mining and graph theory.
In addition, my research often involves designing and building a system. Finally, I consider important and I try to make software as well as useful measurement data available to the community.
