Research Interests: Parallel and distributed simulation, systems and networking, modeling and simulation, high performance computing Ph.D. Thesis: ROSENET: A RemOte SErver-based Network EmulaTion System (funded by NSF and DARPA) Motivated by the need of testing and evaluating applications and protocols in large scale network environments such as Internet and the inefficiency in existing experimental tools caused by physical resource constraints, my Ph.D. thesis proposes a novel network emulation approach called ROSENET that balances the tradeoffs among scale, accuracy, and timeliness. In the ROSENET approach, local low-fidelity emulators quickly deliver results to distributed applications for timeliness, and remote parallel computing facilities perform large scale packet-level simulations and continuously update and calibrate the local low fidelity emulators using network model for scale and accuracy.
