I'm a senior Computer Science Ph.D student, currently slushing through the snow in beautiful (or as the locals say, "gorges") Ithaca. My undergraduate years were spent at the University of Waterloo (another quaint little University town), as I'm one of those odd Canadians, eh.

My research interests are primarily in the areas of networks and distributed systems.

Projects

Cubit	Approximate Matching for Peer-to-Peer Overlays.
Octant	A Comprehensive Framework for Geolocalization on the Internet.
Meridian	A Lightweight Approach to Network Positioning.
ClosestNode.com	A DNS Redirection Service for Closest Node Selection.
