Alexander Gamero-Garrido completed a postdoc at Northeastern University and is now an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Davis. His interests lie at the intersection of computer network measurements, cybersecurity and technology policy. In particular, his dissertation studies the networking ports of entry for international Internet traffic flowing towards entire countries. Most recently we’ve inferred the most influential autonomous systems (AS) in many countries, those with the highest capability to observe or selectively tamper with traffic flowing towards a country using BGP routing announcements and traceroute-inferred AS paths.

He was advised by David Choffnes.
