Short Biography

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at Dartmouth College. I received my Bachelor and Master degrees in Computer Science from Nanjing Unversity of Aeronautics and Astronautics, China, in 2002 and 2005, respectively. Prof. David Kotz is my advisor. I am now working on the DIST project and the NetSANI project.

Experience

Research Assistant, the Center for Mobile Computing at Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH (2006- present)

· Project NetSANI (Network Trace Sanitization and ANonymization Infrastructure) - a flexible and extensible suite of software tools for sanitizing network traces, based on user-specified sanitization goals and user-specified research goals

· Project DIST (Dartmouth Internet Security Testbed) – an integrated, large-scale testbed to address security challenges faced in a large, complex, heterogeneous operational network, at both wired and wireless sides

· Project MAP (Measurement, Analysis and Protection) - an intrusion detection system to address existing and future attacks on IEEE 802.11 wireless networks

Intern, the Information Sciences Group (CCS-3) at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM (Jun 2009 – Sep 2009)
