Research

Research interests

I am interested in networked and distributed systems, from systems architecture and communication protocols to applications (see here for more details), especially topics regarding network control & management, including resource management and Quality of Service (QoS).

I am part of the Networked and Distributed Systems (NDS) Research Group.

My publications are here.

Research duties
