Amin Vahdat

UC San Diego
Center for Networked Systems 		[Amin Vahdat Picture]
Networks, even advanced networks like CalREN, are strange things. Invisible to most users in and of themselves, they show their value best by the relationships they enable among those users and the processing power, data storage, and sensing equipment with which they perform their research. CalREN finds its purpose by making other lights shine, and one of the brightest such lights is the Center for Networked Systems (CNS), under the directorship of UC San Diego's Amin Vahdat.

The CNS is an industrial/academic collaboration investigating emerging issues in both very large (e.g., planetary scale) and very small (e.g., wireless sensor networks) computing systems, and Vahdat's research focuses broadly on computer systems, including distributed systems, networks, and operating systems.
