| Bio |
I am a PhD student in the Department of Electrical Engineering and
Computer Science at Northwestern University since September 2007.
I work in the Northwestern Networks Group
with Prof. Aleksandar Kuzmanovic.
Prior to joining Northwestern, I worked as a Software Engineer at
Fortech, Cluj-Napoca, Romania. My undergraduate degree comes from
Technical University of Cluj-Napoca Romania.
At TU Cluj-Napoca I worked as a Research and Teaching Assistant with Prof.
Octavian Cret.

| Research Interests |
"It has bothered me all my life that I do not paint like everybody else." - Henri Matisse
I work in Computer Networks. Lately, I have focused on:
- Understanding the social behavior of Internet users, e.g. what applications and protocols they use and
how this differs across the world and across network address ranges.
- Traffic classification. Making things as simple as possible. Telling very fast what some traffic is all about
(using for example publicly available IP addresses of known services) for better focus of the more complicated techniques.
- Understanding interests of social network users, developing simple techniques that based on
activity patterns would highlight the topics that a user is interested in.
