		Hu, Ningning Ph.D., May 2006 Computer Science Department School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University
		I have obtained my Ph.D. degree in May 2006. I come from Nanjing University, China. My research interests include network measurement techniques and their supporting systems, network protocols, and active network services. My advisor is Peter Steenkiste.
		Research: 1. IGI/PTR: an available bandwidth measurement tool [JSAC'03] 2. TCP PaSt: a TCP slow-start algorithm for high-speed network [ICNP'03] 3. Pathneck: a bottleneck locating tool [SIGCOMM'04, INFOCOM'05, WCW'05] 4. BRoute: a large-scale available-bandwidth estimation mechanism [IMC'05]
