Research
My research seeks to architect dependable and fast networked
systems. I investigate Internet protocols, peer-to-peer networks, wireless networks, and security. My
research aims to build practical systems as well as to apply
theoretical techniques to better understand these systems. Check out some recent papers and ongoing projects below.
