Research


Network Resilience / SDN Security

This project was originally funded by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories, and originally focused on mapping and analyzing the qualities of resilient networks. The Lead PI on that project was Celeste Matarazzo. Collaborators included Prof. Sean Peisert, PI at UC Davis, and Prof. Tina Eliassi-Rad, PI at Rutgers University.

The work was also funded for a time by the National Science Foundation, focusing on security of SDN-based networks. Adrian Chanvez's involvement was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and Sandia National Laboratories.

Researchers currently involved:

  • Matt Bishop (PI of NSF funds; UC Davis)
  • Adrian Chavez (UC Davis)
  • Jonathan Ganz (UC Davis)
  • Sean Peisert (PI of LLNL funds; UC Davis)

Researchers previously involved:

  • Michael Clifford (Postdoc; UC Davis → DOD)
  • Steven Templeton (UC Davis)

Current sponsor: National Science Foundation ACI/CC-NIE

Past Sponsor: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
