Research Interests
My goal is to make the internet better. To accomplish this, I am working to understand and remove the limitations preventing you from getting the information you want. These limitations come in the form of both explicit censorship, and as unimplemented connections or ideas. My active work is on network structure, measurements of online censorship, and extending to the browsers client-service model.
