- Overview
-
- I manage CS Staff, the group that installs, maintains, and
upgrades the computing and networking infrastructure as well as develops and
deploys applications for the department-wide academic, research, and
administrative needs of the Princeton University Department of Computer
Science.
- Research Interests
-
- My technical interests primarily lie near the interface between the
hardware and the software in computer systems. I'm specifically interested
in operating systems, networking, security & privacy (and related
policy), embedded systems, Internet-of-Things (IoT), and home
automation.
-
The focus of my thesis was on the low-level aspects of Internet routing
and involved the design and implementation of an
extensible router
using PMC694 network interface cards (NICs)
from RAMiX
as well as a NIC based on the Intel
IXP1200
network processor.
-
I have also tinkering with an FPGA-based
Pamette board
with the goal of doing portions of packet processing in reconfigurable logic.
-
For my first two years here at Princeton (as a graduate student), I was involved with the
SHRIMP Project.
I designed a custom hardware performance monitor for the SHRIMP
system called the
SurfBoard.

I've been a preceptor for the following courses. In each case, I
led a precept (section), presented in front of the class 2x per week, graded
assignments, and held office hours.
