Research

My lab works on fundamental questions regarding network system design. What keeps me awake is Internet transparency and neutrality. I am also interested in how to design network functions such that we can accurately reason about their behavior and performance. See my lab page for more.

Courses

Computer systems

This course will teach operating systems and networks in an integrated fashion,emphasising the fundamental concepts and techniques that make their interaction possible/practical. Core lectures will be coupled with C programming lectures and assignments for hands-on experience.

Principles of computer systems

This advanced graduate course teaches the key design principles underlying successful computer and communication systems, and shows how to solve real problems with ideas, techniques, and algorithms from operating systems, networks, databases, programming languages, and computer architecture.
