Broad Research Area: Networks / Operating Systems
Research Interests:
My research interest lies in addressing the Internet’s enormous and
growing complexity. For example, the Internet’s network structure,
traffic processing behavior, and failure modes are all highly
complex. Consequently, applications often perform sub-optimally,
network operators often make grave mistakes, and failures are often
hard to diagnose. Addressing the fundamental complexity challenges in
the Internet will require the development of new models that provide
simple yet accurate abstractions, new algorithms that take advantage
of the simplifying models, and new systems that bridge the gap between
theory and practice. Example projects include network coordinates,
network operating system, and network self-verification that aim to
address the structural, behavioral, and failure-mode complexity
challenges.
