Short biography
Steve Uhlig obtained a Ph.D. degree in Applied Sciences from the University of Louvain, Belgium, in 2004. From 2004 to 2006, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow of the Belgian National Fund for Scientific Research (F.N.R.S.). His thesis won the annual IBM Belgium/F.N.R.S. Computer Science Prize 2005. Between 2004 and 2006, he was a visiting scientist at Intel Research Cambridge, UK, and at the Applied Mathematics Department of University of Adelaide, Australia. Between 2006 and 2008, he was with Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. Prior to joining Queen Mary, he was a Senior Research Scientist with Technische Universität Berlin/Deutsche Telekom Laboratories, Berlin, Germany. Starting in January 2012, I am Professor of Networks at Queen Mary, University of London.
Current Research interests:Internet measurements, software-defined networking, content delivery, network infrastructure virtualization.
Teaching
Network Planning; Finance and Management (semester 2, 2011-2012, QMUL)
Internet measurements (Winter Semester 2010, TU Berlin)
Internet simulation and measurements (2007, TU Delft)
Telecommunication networks (2007, TU Delft)
Students
I am always interested in students with good ideas, at all levels (B.Sc., M.Sc., Ph.D.). Note that I expect from students the knowledge of one or more programming languages commonly used to process real data, e.g., C(++), Perl, Python, Java. Most projects/theses with me involve measurements as well as real-world data. For some ideas about topics for projects or theses, please go the myresearch areas section.
