I am an Assisntant Professor in Applied Computing program at the Division of
Mathematical and Natural Sciences, New College of Interdisciplinary Arts &
Sciences, Arizona State University at the West campus. I received Ph.D. degree
in Computer Science from the University of Minnesota in September 2006, and B.S.
and M.S. degrees in Computer Science from Peking University, China, in 1998 and
2001. My Ph.D. thesis advisor is Professor Zhi-Li Zhang. My research interests include network security, network measurement and
analysis, Internet routing, and cloud computing.
