Research Focus

My research focus is on various aspects of data networks. Some of the topics are:

• Cloud Computing
  • Resource Management Algorithms for Virtual Machine Placement
  • Green-Computing
  • Cloud Federation (SAVI and GENI)
  • Data Center Networks
  • Cloud Applications
• High-performance networking aspects
  • In-network stateless designs for network security (e.g., DDoS, Spam Filtering)
  • Performance Analysis and study of botnets
  • High Performance Switch and Router Designs, Analysis
  • Performance Analysis of Network protocols, media access
  • Network Design
  • Service Models for Virtual Private Networks
  • Traffic Engineering of Overlay services (VPLS, VPN)
  • Routing Protocols, Quality-of-Service Routing, Multi-constraint routing
  • Traffic Management and Quality-of-Service Issues (Queueing, Scheduling, Policing, Datapath analysis and design)
  • Network Processors
  • Network Planning and Design
• Optical Networks
  • Control plane Protocols, Architecture, Performance Analysis
• Queueuing Theory
  • Modeling, Simulations

If you are interested in any of the above research topics and would like to pursue your graduate studies at Uvic, you need to apply to the department through the university. Please see the Univeristy procedures and our Department procedures. You can also send me your CV in pdf format if you are planning to apply.

Note to UVic students: If you want to do directed studies (CSC 591) or an undergraduate project (CSC 499) in any of the network related technologies, come and see me.
