Research Interests
My research focus is on dealing with complex networking systems that involve large amounts of data and users. My long-term goal is to understand the characteristics and the design/business potential of real-world services including IPTV, video-on-demand, and online social networks. I apply theories and measurement frameworks from epidemiology, statistics, and distributed systems.
