I'm a PhD student in Computer
Networks Research Group. My advisor is Professor Don
Towsley. I'm now with NEC Labs America.
Research
My research focuses on Internet congestion control, network security and
network modeling, measurement and simulation. I'm also interested in
machine learning and social networks.
