I joined the faculty of Ursinus College in Fall of 2004 after completing my PhD studies in the College of Computing at Georgia Tech. My area of research is in worldwide user-perceived Internet performance measurement. Although my main area is in Networking, my interests in Computer Science are quite broad. I am particularly intrigued by the interplay among technology, society and politics. Ursinus is not particularly interested in this, so I'm starting a college called Sphere College.

I'm a film lover. If you're in the Collegeville area, check out the Colonial Theater in nearby Phoenixville.
