Research

My research is focused on three major areas with the goal to address
fundamental problems in distributes systems. In the first area, my research
addresses the issue of the efficient and scalable distribution of multimedia
content in today's Internet and future Internet architectures.  The design
and evaluation of future Internet architectures is addressed in the second
research area. The third area focuses on the design of large-scale sensor
networks for weather warning and prediction.  I have pursued research
goals in all three areas through a series of projects, which I either led as
single investigator, principle investigator of collaborative projects, and
Co-PI of large collaborative projects. Overall, my research resulted in
experimental prototypes (CASA), large-scale future Internet architecture
testbeds (GENI, CloudLab), numerous publications in high-quality peer-reviewed
journals and conference proceedings, and technical impact in the community.
