Research Area

I work in the area of computer systems, broadly defined. This includes network, wireless networking, computer architecture as well as privacy and analysis of data sets. Previously, I have been involved in high performance computing and storage systems. I’m also interested in and publish on technology policy, particularly Internet and wireless policy.

Contact

Google does a better job of keeping track of my publications, citations and the like than I ever did.

Former Students
