Ph.D. Candidate
Computer Science Department
Stanford University


Stanford, Georgia Tech and MIT will host a Mininet Tutorial at SIGCOMM. Please check it out at here.

I have graduated from Stanford with my Ph.D. in Computer Science and joined Netflix in August, 2014.
At Netflix, I am working on streaming algorithm and acting as a liaison between Netflix and computer networking research community. At Stanford, I worked with Prof. Nick McKeown and Prof. Ramesh Johari.
My research focused on rethinking client-side network stack design and I was part of the OpenFlow and POMI2020 projects.

Down to the link layer, we made use of multiple interfaces on Android and explore the benefit of that.
Up to the application layer, we were exploring how to better transport multimedia traffic over the Internet.
I also worked on the openflow wireless project, in which we developed a better network infrastructure for supporting mobile devices.
Here is one of the demo video we made for the openflow wireless project (I am the golf cart driver): Demo Video

Besides research, I also enjoy teaching. I have been teaching computer science in various settings, from high school to graduate level.
If you are looking for materials for teaching computer networks, take a look at the series of assignments I help created for Stanford's CS144 using mininet.

I am a recipient of Stanford Graduate Fellowship (2008 Sept. - 2012 Aug.), Google Fellowship (2012 Sept. - 2014 Jun.),
and IRTF Applied Networking Research Prize, 2013. I am also the winner of Cable Lab Hackathon in May 2012 and Netflix Hackday in May 2013.
