Note: (Network is too slow on your phones?)
Please try out an application for measuring
your 3G network performance and policies on your smartphones (WM,
GPhone, iPhone).
Students: I am looking for strong
students who are interested in pursuing graduate degrees (not
internships) in computer
networking, in particular network security/forensics, network
systems/applications, and network management. (Please contact me at
zmao AT umich.edu.)
My area of research is networking with an emphasis on Internet
routing, routing security, and network measurement. I am interested
in understanding improving the robustness of infrastructure services
such as routing, DNS, search engines. My work involves both empirical
data collection and analysis, as well as the design and implementation
of new systems.
Here are some of my ongoing projects:
Mobile computing, networking issues in data cellular networks,
applications on smartphones (3gtest, PowerTutor).
Network management for enterprise and ISP networks.
Malware characterization and deterrence.
Intrusion detection systems.
Routing plane and data plane interaction: happy packets.
Routing protocol models, attacks against routing protocols.
