My research focus is on developing secure, lightweight, and performant system software for networks, with applicability to a range of environments including datacenters, clouds, and orbital systems in outer space.

A significant amount of my time goes to leading the MergeTB project, a network testbed platform that supports a variety of advanced networking testbeds operated by USC/ISI, including the recently funded NSF SPHERE testbed.

Some of my currently funded projects include:

SPHERE

I am co-PI and technical lead for the SPHERE project, which is developing a new research infrastructure and testbed in support of security and privacy research.

CAPSULE

I am PI of the CAPSULE project, which is prototyping a microkernel-based network OS for secure and performant network operation in space.

DISCERN

I am PI of the DISCERN project, which is producing datasets which capture legitimate and malicious use of NSF cyberinfrastructure resources.
