Biography
I received my PhD (2007) and MS (2002) in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. I spent all my graduate years in the Distributed Systems Group led by Prof. David Cheriton. I also weaved in a few startup stints: a summer at Kealia (now part of Sun), another one at BlueArc (now part of Hitachi Data Systems), and, finally, a year at Arista Networks, before joining EPFL in 2007.

Courses
Computer networks
This course provides an introduction to computer networks. It describes the principles that underly modern network operation and illustrates them using the Internet as an example. 
Principles of computer systems
This advanced graduate course focuses on key design principles underlying successful computer and communication
systems, and teaches how to solve real problems using ideas, techniques, and algorithms from operating systems, networks, databases, programmin...
