Professor in the School of Computing
at the University of Utah and a

developing a logically centralized BGP routing controller, which was an
important step towards the centralized routing controllers of
Software-Defined Networks
.
I have broad interest in networking systems research including network
management, control and operation, mobile networking, network
evolution, network security and cloud computing.
