Biography
I am a PhD candidate at the University of California, San Diego
in
the Department of Computer Science and Engineering.
I am advised by KC
Claffy and Alex Snoeren.
My research interest is in Internet Measurement and Interdomain
Routing Security. My current research focuses on routing security and
defenses against abuse of the interdomain routing system. I work at
the Sysnet and
CNS research groups at Computer Science and
Engineering,
and at CAIDA at the San Diego Supercomputer
Center.
Before starting my PhD, I obtained my B.S. in Computer Science here at UC San
Diego with a minor in Organic Chemistry (wet labs are fun!).
