Passionate about leveraging tech & AI for positive change, I specialize in developing innovative solutions to complex problems.

Smriti Mishra

I'm an engineer, researcher, and educator in Computer Science and Engineering, specifically Networks and Cybersecurity. I have ten years' experience creating and leading research projects, coordinating small teams, presenting reports, and teaching.

Some interests: Security (mechanisms and policy), Distributed Systems, Protocols, Network Science, Algorithms (string matching, sequence alignment, etc.)

PROJECTS:
1. Programmable Network Security. - The P4 language allows SDN switches to parse packets and extract header fields – but not payload fields. It's "not for DPI". Or is it? We built DeeP4R, a system that actually *does* perform DPI on P4. We currently have a limited next-gen firewall, and are exploring intrusion detection with in-fabric ML and other use cases.

2. Internet Sovereignty and Control. - Do network outages and censors affect users *in other countries*? Can we route around them using overlays or CDN? Or, in the worst case (no disruption-free paths), can we "punch through" the blockage? Our Decoy Routing system, SiegeBreaker, is one way to do this.

3. New Datacenter Scale Protocols. -  In Data Centers etc., we no longer compute loop-free paths or multi-paths at L2; it is all done in L3.  *Can* a fast, resilient network backplane at L2 outperform L3 solutions? What happens when we scale across multiple data centers?

SKILLS:
1. Communication – Ten years of experience in teaching, presentation, and technical and non-technical writing. Ratings of 4.5+/ 5 as a teacher.

2. CyberSecurity – Research experience in Firewalls, Intrusion Detection, Internet Security (BGP, DNS).
Five years of experience teaching skills (firewall/proxy, flow tools, Snort/Zeek, VPN etc.) 

3. Networks – Research experience with SDN, Internet Measurement, and Protocols. 
Five years of experience teaching skills (Wireshark/Scapy, Traceroute, Layer-2/Layer-3/overlay networks, software-defined and data-center networks etc.)
