Maria Apostolaki

I am a third year PhD student, advised by Prof. Laurent Vanbever. My research focuses on Internet routing and its implications on performance and security.

I am currently a visiting researcher at MIT working with Prof. Ghobadi at the CSAIL. I have spent the last two summers, working on analyzing data center traffic at Microsoft Research, Redmond (2018) and Google, Mountain View (2017).

Prior to joining ETH, I earned my diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens, Greece.
