Thomas Holterbach
PhD Student
I am a third year PhD student. My research aims at improving the routing convergence in the Internet. I have interests in BGP, Software-defined Networks and Internet measurements.
I received both my Bachelor and Master degrees in Computer Science from the University of Strasbourg, France. Before joining ETH, I worked six months at Internet Initiative Japan, where I was supervised by Cristel Pelsser and Randy Bush. In 2016, I worked six months at CAIDA where I was supervised by Alberto Dainotti.
