Research Interest

My general research interests are design, modeling, and performance evaluation of distributed systems and networks. Current research encompasses content delivery systems, peer-to-peer systems, wireless sensor networks, as well as workload and topology characterization of the Internet.

My Ph.D. research was recently featured in On Campus News.
