Roderick Fanou
Roderick Fanou worked as Postdoctoral Scholar at CAIDA from March 2018 to March 2021. During his stay, he contributed to the MANIC and PANDA projects under the supervision of Amogh Dhamdhere (in 2018, now at AWS) and KC Claffy. His research activities involved assisting with the design and development of new applications as well as the integration of existing codebases, which collect measurements pertaining to interdomain congestion and performance, for enabling large-scale scientific projects. He also collaborated with and worked alongside other members of the CAIDA team.
