Internal projects & collaborations

Current:

• PeerSoN: Peer-to-Peer Infrastructure for Social Networking Applications is an informal collaboration with researchers in KTH (Sweden), and the agenda for this project is arguably over-ambitious. We'll see ;-)

Past:

• SSNet: Aims to develop models, algorithms, systems and tools to unravel the behavioral knowledge about online user communities, particularly in open collaborative systems like Wikipedia. The project is funded by A*Star, however my participation is as an informal collaborator.

EPFL (past) projects

Internal projects:

• P-Grid: Structured overlay network with trie abstraction and support for arbitrary load skews. A major part of my PhD. was related to the core algorithms being used in P-Grid.

Funded projects:

• NCCR MICS: As a PhD. student in EPFL I participated in the Swiss National Center of Competence in Research on Mobile Information and Communication Systems. 
• Evergrow: As a PhD. student I participated in the Evergrow EU project which studied ever-growing global scale-free networks and the design of the internet for 2025!
