I received B.Eng and M.Eng degrees in electronic engineering from the University of Pretoria in South Africa in 1989 and 1991 respectively. I worked at the CSIR (a South African research and development organization) for three years before joining the Systems Research Group at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory from where I received a Ph.D in 1998. Since then I have been with the Networking Research Department of AT&T Labs Research.

Recent Community Involvement

I am TPC co-chair for LANMAN 2008

I am co-organizer for the SIGCOMM Workshop on Programmable Routers for Extensible Services of TOmorrow (PRESTO'08)

I was Finance and Registration Chair for LANMAN 2007

I was co-organizer for the Workshop on Programmable Routers for the Extensible Services of TOmorrow (PRESTO), in Princeton during May 2007

I served on the SIGOMM 2007 Program Commitee.

I was deputy track chair for the Industrial Practice and Experience track of WWW2007.
