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 Reza Rejaie and Ram Durairajan. Chris's work on programmable switch hardware, traffic monitoring, and network security has been published in top-tier venues including USENIX NSDI, IEEE Security and Privacy, and IEEE Transactions on Networking. His current research interests are on understanding the spatial and temporal structures of Internet traffic and how these structures impact the design and performance of Internet systems—from switches and routers to satellite constellations.
