Matthias Wählisch
I hold the Chair of Distributed and Networked Systems at the Faculty of Computer Science at TU Dresden. My research and teaching focus on scalable, reliable, and secure Internet communication. This includes the design and evaluation of networking protocols and architectures, as well as Internet measurements and analysis. My efforts are driven by the hope of improving Internet communication based on sound research. I'm actively involved in the IETF since 2005 and co-founded multiple successful open source projects such as RIOT and RTRlib. I am a member of the Board of Advisors of BCIX and co-founded the DD-IX.
