| 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 measurement and management,
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 or prior research projects are or were funded by the National Science Foundation,
the Department of Homeland Security, AT&T,
Cisco Systems, GENI Project, Hewlett-Packard, Juniper Networks, Meta,
Northrop Grumman Corp, Schlumberger,
the Purdue Research Foundation, and CERIAS.

Research
(1) Virtual reality support and cellular networks: We are designing approaches to support virtual reality applications, and to optimize cellular networks;
(2) Virtualization and data centers: We are designing placement and scaling strategies for virtualized network functions, and algorithms for efficient data center management;
(3) Network measurement and management: We are
inferring and learning information about network topology, availability, bottlenecks, bandwidth,
latency, and loss, and exploiting this information for adapting and managing networks and applications;
(4) Network experimentation and security: We are
developing methodologies and benchmarks for network evaluation, including security mechanisms for VoIP and multimedia services.
