My long-term vision is to deploy self-driving networks based on modern principles of zero trust on a large-scale to improve the resilience and security of the networks, for the individual and social good.

My Research Interests

Revolve around verification of programmable networks such as SDN and P4 networks/switches. Leverage techniques such as Fuzzing, Deep Learning, Bloom Filters for detection and localization of bugs causing abnormal behavior during runtime.

Recent Project Verify

Funded by BMBF grant under the Software Campus executives development program. Project Verify aims to develop systems that perform runtime verification of programmable networks.
