Bio

I'm currently a consulting research scientist for CAIDA. Prior to that, I was an associate professor (2020-2022) and senior lecturer (2015-2019) in the Computer Science department at the University of Waikato, a research scientist (2014-2015) and a postdoc (2012-2014) at CAIDA, UC San Diego, and a lecturer (2006-2010) / senior lecturer (2011) at Waikato. I'm the author of scamper, a packet-prober used in the Ark project at CAIDA to collect IP-level Internet topology data.

Research Interests

• Collecting and analysing router and AS-level Internet topology data, especially (1) economic relationships between ASes, (2) inferring the router-level topology, and (3) development of distributable software for collecting IP-level data.
• Internet topology, routing, and performance in IPv6, particularly the interactions with middleboxes and future evolution.
• Troubleshooting of IP networks, particularly TCP performance issues.
• Deployment of Source Address Validation (BCP38) via the spoofer project.
