Robotics has the capability to enhance human abilities in unparalleled ways. The integration of advanced sensors and precise actuators has established the foundation for robots to attain these capabilities, as evidenced by their presence in factories and, in limited cases, in home settings. Nevertheless, in unpredictable…

High-speed programmable switches allow network operators to run succinct, customized algorithms to process individual packets, providing us a prime opportunity to improve network performance and security. In my research, I adopt approximation techniques to design algorithms that fit the switches’ strict memory and computational…
