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 am looking to hire PhD students interested in research in systems and networking. APPLY HERE! The PhD application fee is waived for Fall 2025 applications, and the deadline is December 13, 2024.
