Fang received her Ph.D. degree  from the EECS Department at University of California at Berkeley. She received her M.S. degree in Computer Science from UC Berkeley in 2002, and her B.S. degree in Computer Science from Fudan University , China in 2000. Her research interests center on large scale networking systems, with a focus on developing algorithms for better classification of network traffic to filter malicious traffic such as worms.

Currently, Fang is working on the S-GPS project, focusing on detecting spammers using network level information, and the PSAT project, aiming to speedup the SAT solver through FPGA.

How dynamic are IP addresses?
