Abstract
As telecommunications networks and the distributed systems they support become increasingly intertwined in the economic and social fabrics of our lives, understanding the performance, availability, and security properties of such systems is of critical importance. As an experimental computer scientist, my research is primarily concerned with the observation of these properties in systems deployed at scale and in common practice. Such measurement, when properly done, yields models that positively impact the construction of such systems and, more generally, the sciences of networking, distributed systems, and security. The application of this philosophy, informed by a career spent both in industry as well as academia, has resulted in numerous specific research contributions, that broadly writ, include: (i) techniques for measurement that cope with Internet scale and heterogeneity, (ii) methods for detecting and mitigating specific security phenomena (e.g., worms, botnets, spam), and (iii) building deeper understandings of networking and distributed systems paradigms (e.g., inter-networking, cloud computing). Further, I have sought to extend my the impact through active to the community service, by encouraging innovation via large collaborative projects, through transitioning new technologies into practice, and by working to enhance the integrity and reproducibility of the sciences in my field. Most importantly, I am a passionate believer in my mentoring and teaching role, and have actively sought over my career to make a positive and substantial impact on
