Bio
Chris Misa is a post-doctoral researcher for the Oregon Networking Research Group and Oregon Cybersecurity Center of Excellence. Chris earned his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Oregon under the mentorship of professors Rejaie and Durairajan. During his PhD work, Chris received several awards and fellowships from the UO and Ripple, Inc., spearheaded the ONRG's collaboration with Broadcom, Inc., and mentored several undergraduate and Master's students. His research on programmable switch hardware, traffic monitoring, and network security have been published in top-tier venues including USENIX NSDI, IEEE Security and Privacy, and IEEE Transactions on Networking.
Current Research
The increasing complexity of modern computer networks raises new issues for network monitoring and control systems. In particular, existing monitoring systems tend to fall into one of two, nondesirable groups: either providing rough estimation of key information (e.g. SFLOW), or requiring massive collection and processing overheads (e.g. INT).
Chris's research explores the possibilities afforded by recent advances in network switch hardware and OS-level network virtualization to address these two undesirable tendancies. In particular, Chris is interested in maximizing the utilization of hardware and OS resources, while minimizing the overheads of collecting and post-processing measurement data. Ultimately network measurement should be an agile, lightweight, and versatile tool to serve as the sensory system for advanced network control schemes.
