Biography
I am a PhD student at the University of California, San Diego in
the Department of Computer Science and Engineering.
I am advised by KC Claffy and Alex Snoeren.
My research interest is in Internet Measurement and Interdomain
Routing. My current research focuses on measurement-based geolocation
of IP addresses and the Internet routing ecosystem. I work at
the Sysnet and
CNS research groups at Computer Science and Engineering,
and at CAIDA at the San Diego Supercomputer Center.
Before starting my PhD, I obtained my B.S. in Computer Science here at UC San
Diego with a minor in Organic Chemistry (wet labs are fun!). I also studied
Spanish and Dutch for my interest in human languages.
