About me:

I graduated with a Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC San Diego under the supervision of Amin Vahdat. My dissertation was titled 'Mechanisms for Generating Realistic Annotated Internet Topologies'.

I am now a researcher at Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), focussing on networking and distributed systems. Before joining PARC, I was at HP Labs, Palo Alto, where I worked on data center networks and networking energy efficiency.

Research:

Orbis is a tool to generate and analyze Internet topologies - both AS-level and router-level topologies. Before Orbis, I worked on comparing AS-level topologies extracted from different data sources such as BGP, traceroute and IRR. The results of my analysis are available at this supplement , that I created for CAIDA . In addition to the final plots that compare different topologies, I've also included my scripts for computing the different metrics, and the AS graphs extracted from various data sources. My previous research includes ModelNet, an emulation environment for Internet-scale networks.
