Supervision

Jul 26, 2020

Currently, I’m supervising four master theses:

Erlend Hapnes: Can we control a TCP path?
Christoffer Bjelke, Andreas Limi: Timer-based TCP (TBTCP)
Maximilian von Stephanides: Improving Internet Congestion Control with Packet Loss Prediction using Machine Learning
Shahed Shuvo: Detecting signs of congestion or underload in traffic traces

Past master students

I supervised the following master students:

Naima Noor: On the Predictability of the Deployment of Network Mechanisms
Tobias Fladby: Managing Real-Time Video and Data Flows with Coupled Congestion Control Mechanism
Kristian Andreas Hiorth, TCP-in-UDP: Enabling gradually deployable TCP coupled congestion control using an efficient UDP encapsulation

I also provided unofficial support/supervision to the following students:

Øystein Dale , under EU NEAT project.
Fredrik Haugseth , under EU NEAT project.
Lepe Khanum , worked on Fling measurement tool
