Amreesh Phokeer
speaker
Internet Engineer and Researcher with more than 15 years of experience in software engineering, network security, and data analysis. I have a strong analytical background with visualization and programming skills, especially with Python. I am insightful and result-driven with notable success in implementing diverse Internet core security frameworks such as RPKI and DNSSEC. I have good knowledge of core Internet protocols and I am a frequent participant/speaker at NOG meetings, peering fora, and the IETF. I joined the Internet Society in April 2021 as Internet Measurement and Data Expert. I’m focused on efforts around Internet measurements, Internet shutdowns, and understanding market trends that impact the growth of the Internet across the globe. Prior to joining the Internet Society, I was a Research Manager at the African Network Information Center – AFRINIC, where I spearheaded the organization’s research activities in the areas of Internet security and Internet measurements. I championed the deployment of various security frameworks namely RPKI and DNSSEC at AFRINIC. I’m also heavily involved in the academic community. I’ve had a number of scientific publications in the areas of network performance, security, and Internet policy. I’ve been a program committee member of several academic and technical conferences.

Matt Caesar
organizer
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at UIUC. I am also an Affiliate Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, an Affiliate Research Professor in the Coordinated Science Laboratory, Affiliate Associate Professor in the School of Information Sciences, and a member of the Information Trust Institute. I am also Chief Science Officer of Veriflow and I serve as the Director of Education for ACM SIGCOMM. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC Berkeley.
My research focuses on the design, analysis, and implementation of networked and distributed systems, with an emphasis on network virtualization, routing, network algorithms, systems security, and cloud services. I like taking a multi-pronged approach to system design, building systems that work well in practice but are grounded in strong theoretical principles. My recent work involves network security, network verification, and Internet of Things.
