Research Interests (see my CV for more details)

I am a professor in the EECS department at Case Western Reserve University, which I joined after spending 11 years with AT&T Labs - Research. My interests include World-Wide Web, Internet, and distributed systems. In particular, my current research concerns performance and scalability issues of the Web and Internet, Internet measurements, utility computing, overlay networks, and XML networking and data management.

News:

Our work on using content delivery networks as conduit for denial of service attacks was the topic of an IEEE Spectrum article in its February'2011 issue.
