Chen-Nee Chuah is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at U. C. Davis. Chuah received her B. S. in Electrical Engineering from Rutgers University in 1995, and her M. S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from U. C. Berkeley in 1997 and 2001, respectively (PhD advisor: Prof. Randy H. Katz). From 2001 to 2002, she was a visiting scholar of the IP-Group at Sprint Advanced Technology Laboratories in Burlingame, CA, during which she worked on Internet measurements, failure analysis, routing instability, and traffic engineering issues. She joined UC Davis as a full-time Assistant Professor in July 2002. Chuah received the National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 2003 for her research on Robust, Stable, and Secure Routing. She received the Outstanding Junior Faculty Award from the College of Engineering at UC Davis in October 2004. She has served on the technical program committee of various ACM and IEEE conferences/workshops, including MOBICOM, INFOCOM, SECON, IWQoS, ICC, and VANET.
Chuah's research interests are in the area of computer networking, distributed systems, wireless/mobile communications, multimedia, Internet measurements, anomaly detection, and performance modeling. She currently leads the Robust and Ubiquitous Networking (RUBINET) Research Group at UCD. Her recent research focuses on designing robust, stable, efficient, and secure network control plane that can automatically detect and respond to faults and malicious attacks. She is also interested in investigating signal processing techniques for network monitoring and anomaly detection; characterizing interactions across multiple levels (e.g., packet vs. flow), layers (e.g., IP vs. overlay/application), and network entities (e.g., different Autonomous Systems); and leveraging this cross-layer approach to optimize the design of architectures, protocols, and applications. Her interests in the area of wireless networking span multiple-antenna array systems, vehicular-based mobile ad hoc networks, real-time streaming, and sensor network applications.
