| I am a professor at the Department of Computer Science
at Purdue University.
I am also a member of CERIAS (the Center for
Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security).
My current research interests lie in the areas of network
architectures and protocols, specifically Network Functions Virtualization,
Internet measurement and tomography,
network simulation and testbeds, network security, and wireless and sensor networks. Click here for a two-page resume (PDF), and click here for a biography. |
Our current research projects are funded by the National Science Foundation.
Prior projects have been funded by
the Department of Homeland Security, Cisco Systems, Hewlett-Packard,
Northrop Grumman Corp, Raytheon/BBN, the Schlumberger Foundation,
the Purdue Research Foundation, and CERIAS.
Note to graduate study applicants, and students wishing to join our lab
Research
(1) Network functions virtualization: We are designing placement and scaling strategies for virtualized network functions;
(2) Network experimentation and testbeds: We are
developing methodologies and benchmarks for network evaluation, including security mechanisms for VoIP and multimedia services. Click

(3) Internet measurement and tomography: We are
inferring information about network topology, availability, bottlenecks, bandwidth,
latency, and loss, and exploiting this information for constructing, monitoring, and controlling network applications.

(4) Wireless networks: We are designing routing and diagnosis protocols for wireless and sensor networks.
