Prof. Mohammadreza A Alizadeh

Professor Alizadeh works in the areas of computer networks and systems. His research aims to improve the performance, robustness, and ease of management of future networks and cloud computing systems. He is also broadly interested in the modeling and analysis of computer systems, and bridging theory and practice in computer system design. Recent projects focus on architectures and algorithms for large-scale datacenter networks, particularly high performance network fabrics and transport mechanisms, programmable switching architectures, and scheduling and resource allocation for cloud systems.

Alizadeh’s research has garnered significant industry interest: his work on datacenter transport mechanisms has been implemented in commercial and open source operating systems, and has been adopted by large datacenter operators; recently, his work on adaptive network load balancing has been implemented in Cisco's flagship datacenter switching products.
