Zhi-Li Zhang

Zhang's research interests lie broadly in computer communication and networks, Internet technology, multimedia and emerging applications. His current research focuses primarily on i) building highly scalable, resilient and secure Internet infrastructure and mechanisms to enhance Internet service performance, availability, reliability, manageability and security; and on ii) developing next-generation, service-oriented, secure, manageable and economically viable Internet architectures to provide better support for creation, deployment, operations and management of value-added Internet services (e.g., large-scale mobile, cloud services and content (esp. video) delivery systems) and underlying networks. He is also interested in complex networks, social network analysis, robustness of critical infrastructure networks, and the interplay between socio-technical networks.
