Professor Vern Paxson is a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, CA, USA, and holds a joint appointment with the International Computer Science Institute. Prof. Paxson was among the first to empirically study the modern Internet and the first to identify the substantial challenges involved in measuring and simulating the Internet. He introduced the usefulness of statistical techniques for gathering data and sparked resurgence in measurement research. Prof. Paxson’s “Bro” network monitoring system established him as widely recognized expert on network-based attacks.
He will be visiting LINCS from 10/05/2016 to 20/05/2016
