I am a researcher in the Networking Group at Microsoft Research. I'm also affiliated with the Systems and Networking Group.

I completed my Ph.D. in September 2004 in Computer Science at UC Berkeley. My work was in wide-area routing, traffic performance and network management under the supervision of Professor Randy Katz. During my Ph.D. I spent two years with the IP and Security Research group at Sprint Labs. I received my M.S. in December 2000, also in Computer Science at UC Berkeley. During my M.S. I spent time at HRL Labs. Being an avid Bears fan, I also have a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Berkeley.
