I am a Computer Networking Software Engineer at Facebook Inc.

From November 2009 to May 2014, I was a Research Engineer at Ericsson Inc., where I worked on Software-defined Networking design and optimization.

I got my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in December 2009.
My Ph.D. advisor is Prof. Nick McKeown. Here you can find my Ph.D. thesis on buffer sizing in routers.

From 2006 to 2009, I organized the Stanford Networking Seminar.
