Krishna Gummadi leads the Networked Systems (NetS) research group at the Max Planck Institute for SoftWare Systems (MPI-SWS). He received his Ph.D. (2005) and M.S. (2002) degrees in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Washington under the guidance of Professors Steven D. Gribble and Henry M. Levy. He also holds a B.Tech. (2000) degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras.

Research

I am broadly interested in the areas of networking and distributed systems. My research is motivated by the growing complexity (scale, heterogeneity, and distributed control) of today's networked systems. My projects focus either on understanding how well existing systems work in practice or on building new systems. We use a combination of measurement, analysis, design, and implementation methodologies to achieve our goals.

Current and Recent Research Projects:

In the past, I have worked on peer-to-peer systems and overlay routing systems.

Students / Postdocs

Graduate students: I work with many fantastic graduate students at MPI-SWS. I often co-advise them with my colleagues.
