Biography

My research interests are in networking and distributed systems. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California, San Diego in 2007 and my M.S. in Computer Science from Duke University in 2003. I'm currently working on energy efficient networking with a focus on data centers.

Research interests

Networking (especially energy efficient networking), distributed systems, mobile computing


Past Research:

Orbis:  Is a  tool to generate and analyze Internet topologies - both AS-level and router-level topologies. While Orbis is focussed on Internet graphs, the underlying principles, that we call the dK-series, can be used to generate and analyze any graph - enterprise topology, social network, biological network, etc. Before Orbis, I worked on comparing AS-level topologies extracted from different data sources such as BGP, traceroute and IRR. The results of my analysis are available at this supplement, that I created for CAIDA . In addition to the final plots that compare different topologies, I've also included my scripts for computing the different metrics, and the AS graphs extracted from various data sources. 

ModelNet : An emulation environment for Internet-scale networks and MobiNet, an emulation environment for ad-hoc wireless networks.
