Princeton University - 3rd year Ph.D. student - rkiefer at cs dot princeton

I am a third year Ph.D. student at Princeton University in the computer science department. My advisor is Michael Freedman and I'm part of the SNS group. I am currently working on Serval, a network architecture for service-centric networking. My current focus is on applying policy to the control plane to improve performance and the user experience using Serval.

I attended the University of Maryland for undergrad from 2006 to 2010, and graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science.
