Bio

Hi! I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Virginia.

Before joining UVA, I worked as a Research Scholar/Scientist at Princeton University. I received my Ph.D. and M.S. in Computer Science from Georgia Tech and my B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin - Madison.

Research

My research focuses on making computer networks easier to monitor, understand, troubleshoot, and configure. I enjoy designing fast and accurate mechanisms that analyze real-world traffic and extract useful information for network practitioners. I am passionate about designing and implementing better tools and systems for next-generation applications and networks. I often use tools and mechanisms in software-defined networking (SDN), P4, and programmable data planes. I am also enthusiastic about applying new ideas to real operational networks.

Prospective Students (Fall 2025): I plan to hire PhD students interested in doing research in systems and networking! If you want to learn, develop new ideas, design and implement them, and impact our world, join us! Email me, and also apply HERE!

The application fee is waived for Fall 2025 applications. The PhD application deadline for Fall 2025 is December 13, 2024.
