Congratulations to Shuang Hao, our outstanding Ph.D. student working on detection of malicious behavior on the Internet.   From the announcement: “From an outstanding group of over 200 proposals, thirty exceptional PhD students have been selected to be part of Yahoo!’s 2012Key Scientific Challenges (KSC) Program.”

Our SIGCOMM 2011 paper, “Broadband Internet Performance: A View From the Gateway“, which studies broadband Internet performance from about 4,000 homes in the United States and eight different ISPs, has been selected for Communications of the ACM‘s Research Highlights, a section devoted to the most important recent computer science research. The article will appear in Communications of the ACM later this year.  Congratulations to Srikanth and the BISmark team!  Read more about Project BISmark (and get involved!) here.
