Presenter

I am an Associate Professor in Computer Science at UC Santa Barbara, Faculty Scientist at Berkeley Lab, and Marjorie & Charles Benton Opportunity Fund Fellow at Benton Institute.

I co-direct the Systems and Networking Lab (SNL) at UCSB, where I have been utilizing my system-building skills to address a variety of pressing digital inequity challenges, namely, ensuring secure, performant, and affordable “Internet for All.” To this end, my current research focuses on democratizing the development of production-ready ML artifacts for self-driving networks (to ensure performant and secure connectivity with limited infrastructure and operational resources) and enabling data-driven policymaking (to ensure performant and affordable connectivity with limited capital resources).
