I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. My work is under the supervision of professors Simon S.Lam,
Yin Zhang and Lili Qiu.
My research interests span a broad range of topics related to networking, especially performance optimization, wireless network, overlay and multihoming, network measurement, congestion control and security.
