Research
My research interests are focused on large-scale computer systems, including computer networks and distributed systems. As a computer system (such as the Internet) increases in the number of components and distributes across diverse geographical locations, a diverse set of intricate challenges arise. These challenges include the optimal placement of functions within the system and the development of strategies for resilience against failures and potential security threats. My research endeavors are geared towards articulating the foundational principles underlying the design, construction, and operation of computer systems that are scalable, reliable, secure, performant, and manageable. My publications are listed here. I am part of Duke Systems group.
Notes
I am looking for motivated students to join my research group. The
research problems I am currently interested in are 1) how to develop
practical ML/AI technologies to improve the reliability and security of
networks and distributed systems (AIOps), 2) how to protect the online
privacy and security of Internet users, and 3) network and system support
for latency-sensitive applications. If you are interested in working on any
of the topics, please apply to Duke CS and mention my name in your
application. Here are three of my recent publications related to these
topics:
AIOps
related,
privacy and security related, and low latency related.
