Richard T. B. Ma

This is Richard T. B. Ma and I work in the area of Distributed Systems and Networking. Currently, my research focuses on Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Cloud Computing. In SDN, we research on leveraging the programmable data plane to enable novel interconnection and peering agreements among Internet Service Providers (ISPs). In Cloud Computing, we search on the design and implementation of cloud-native data platforms that leverages the Kubernetes container orchestration framework.
