Full CV | Short Resume (November 2009)

My area of research is computer networks with a focus on the inter-domain routing protocols and economics. I'm analyzing how efficient the Internet business model is and what are possible alternatives to it using large scale simulation and modeling. I also seek to understand how emerging technologies, such as network virtualization, can help change the existing Internet business environment.
