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…

Fundamental physical limitations have slowed down hardware scaling, thus ending the “free” scaling benefits of processing power and storage capacity. At the same time, data is growing at an unprecedented rate. This data juggernaut is highly disruptive. It morphs benign assumptions into critical bottlenecks, and forces radical…
