Fabian Ruffy
I am a doctoral student in the systems lab of the New York University
(NYU) advised by Anirudh
Sivaraman.
Before that, I was a graduate student at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and member of the Network, Systems, and Security (NSS) lab. Together with Ivan Beschastnikh I worked on all kinds of topics related to datacenter networking.
My interests center around Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and programmable networks (for example, P4). I like to work on topics that simplify configuration and maintenance in computer networks. Correspondingly, I try to improve the development of software practices, such as the use of formal methods, the definition of well-defined interfaces, and automation, in the networking domain. I have also enjoyed dabbling with Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and datacenter congestion control.
