Ram's esearch focuses on global Internet resilience across submarine cables (sea), satellites (air), and terrestrial networks (land). He takes a data-driven approach to (1) develop empirical measurement tools (e.g., using AI/ML, statistics, etc.) to understand the resiliency of network infrastructures, traffic, and applications; and (2) use these insights to build systems that withstand both in- trinsic threats (e.g., DDoS attacks), and extrinsic threats (e.g., climate change and natural disasters).
