| I am a professor in 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 research interests lie in the areas of network
architectures and network protocols, specifically
in designing network protocols to increase performance and security.

Research
(1) Network support for virtual reality applications: We are designing networking and systems techniques to support distributed virtual reality applications (NSF project; Meta project);
(2) Network measurement and management: We are
inferring and learning information about network traffic, topology, bottlenecks, bandwidth,
latency, and loss, and exploiting this information for adapting and managing networks and applications (Juniper Networks project; GENI Project);
(3) Cellular networks: We are designing approaches to optimize cellular network control plane performance and security (Phase 1; Phase 2);
(4) Network experimentation: We are
developing methodologies and benchmarks for network evaluation (DHS project and NSF project).
