Research

My research interests are in efficient routing and transport protocols for data center networks, network performance optimizations in cloud environments, high-speed algorithms for attack monitoring, scalable fault diagnosis in networked systems. I lead the SyN lab at Purdue that conducts research in Systems and Networking.
