WORK EXPERIENCE

CAIDA (Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis) 
Research Lab,        San Diego, CA
05/03 - 08/03

    Worked as a summer intern on traffic analysis and interdomain
    (BGP) routing analysis. Projects included assessing the traffic
    diversity by routing objects, such as network prefixes, and
    evaluating the combinational gain of atom routing.

AT&T Research Lab,        Florham Park, NJ
05/02 - 08/02
	Worked as a summer intern focusing on BGP routing dynamics.
	Developed tools to automatically detect anomalies in BGP routing
	and assist identifying root causes of the anomaly. 

RESEARCH PROJECTS

    * Analyze the interaction between TCP congestion control and
      intelligent routing control (IRC) systems for egress
      interdomain traffic engineering. Provide guidelines to IRC
      operation to mitigate the negative interaction between IRC and
      TCP. 
    * Pinpoint the root causes of traffic oscillations caused by
      intelligent routing control (IRC) systems. Propose a series of
      algorithms to avoid such oscillation. 
    * Design a polynomial algorithm to optimize the practice of
      AS-Path prepending for ingress interdomain traffic
      engineering. 
    * Prototype an evolutionary framework for Internet topology
      modeling and evaluate various models.
