I just open-sourced Ringmaster, a videoconferencing research platform as part of our Tambur paper at NSDI '23. Ringmaster aims to be a readable, extensible, and research-friendly replacement for WebRTC.

Soudeh Ghorbani (JHU) and I are thrilled to announce that the poster session is making a comeback at NSDI '23 after a three-year break! Please review the Call for Posters and submit your abstracts by Feb 27, 2023.

A preview of my recent work on ML for networking is now available at arXiv: Teal (learning-accelerated traffic engineering) and Autothrottle (learning-assisted microservice autoscaling)!

Our paper “Tambur: Efficient loss recovery for videoconferencing via streaming codes” has been (pre-)accepted into NSDI 2023!

We have a research internship opening for an RL-in-videoconferencing project I have been leading. Due to some special arrangement of this collaborative project between MSR Redmond & Asia, applicants must physically be present in China and will work from MSR Asia. Update: The position has been filled.

My colleague Mike Liang at MSR Asia and I are seeking a research intern to work with us on microservices. The internship is affiliated with MSR Asia and requires the intern to be physically located in Beijing. Female candidates are encouraged to apply! Update: We recruited a female intern!

Serving on the editorial board of the Journal of Systems Research (JSys). Looking forward to reading high-quality submissions to the networking area!

You are invited to take on the Grand Challenge on Bandwidth Estimation for Real-Time Communications I am organizing. The prize pool is 7,500 USD! Submission deadline: June 25th July 19th, 2021.
