Research Overview

I lead UCLA’s Security and Networking (ScaN) Lab! Our research brings a data-driven approach to understanding the Internet’s performance and security, both on the ground and in space. We build systems that learn patterns from and collect data about network, operator, and attacker behaviors. More details here.
