About
Dr. Xiong is now with Networking Researching Group at Microsoft Research Asia as a principal researcher and research manager. Dr. Xiong received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D degrees from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China in 1996, 1998 and 2001, respectively, all in computer science. His research interests include system and networking, as well as network security. He has published over 80 papers, and served as TPC member or reviewers for the international key conferences and leading journals in the areas of system and networking. Dr. Xiong is member of IEEE.
Dr. Xiong has been working on the system and networking area for a while, originally he worked on Internet routing protocols, after that, he turned to mobile ad hoc networks and peer-to-peer networks, which were both similarly end system based networks. He is now focusing on data center networking systems, especially on the architecture design, optimal scheduling problem, switch constructions to improve resilience, performance and diagnosis, as well as its security problem such as handing the DDoS attacks. He is also interested in building hardware networking systems, doing measurement and security related research.
