About me
I recently graduated with my Ph.D. from the University of Washington, where I was advised by Tom Anderson and Arvind Krishnamurthy. I now work at Google Seattle with the Google Maps team.
I am primarily interested in distributed systems and security. The focus of my Ph.D thesis was on building systems to measure and understand the botnet life-cycle. In the past, I have worked on wireless systems, Internet measurements, Distributed Hash Tables, and Internet routing.
I was supported by the Cisco Graduate Fellowship for 2008-2010.
