Research

My research interests are in Cloud Computing and Enterprise Network Management with a focus on

enterprise design and configuration. In the past, my research has been in the areas of peer-to-peer

systems, and Internet video distribution. I lead the Internet Systems Lab, where you can find

more details of my research. In the past, I have been been a Visiting Research Scientist at Google

(June 2011-July 2012), and at AT&T Research (May 2006-June 2006). My research has been recognized with

an NSF CAREER award (2010), and with the ACM SIGMETRICS Test of Time Award (2011).
