Job/Research Opportunities
I am looking to offer research projects in the areas related to programming networks (DPTP, DySo, SynDB, FCM) and 5G network (FSA, SLIC, PR3)Current Projects
Programmable Network
Research advances in Software Defined Networking (SDN) have enabled new paradigms and architectures through providing programmable capabilities to both the control and data plane. I am particularly interested in understanding how these capabilities enable new monitoring frameworks, control paradigms, virtualization strategies and speedup of large scale distributed computations. I am also involved in the bare-metal provisioning of SDN testbed on the National Cybersecurity R&D Lab (NCL) (http://ncl.sg).

Low Power, Energy Efficient Edge Computing
With mobile devices becoming ubiquitous, collaborative applications have become increasingly pervasive. We look into various approaches in which these devices can leverage the available sensing, computation and communication capabilities to design collaborative applications. In particular, we are looking at how high-fidelity context awareness can be achieved with low-cost sensing and communication on resource-constrained devices and possibly with collaboration among many different devices.

5G Network
5G is expected to support a wide variety of users with very diverse requirements. We are looking at how a combination of Software Defined Networking (SDN), Network Virtualization (NV) and cloud computing can be used to meet the requirements of scaling, flexibility and isolation.
