ScaN (Security and Networking) Lab is at the University of California, Los Angeles in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department.
Our research takes a data-driven approach to understanding the Internet’s performance and security. We build data collection systems that rigorously account for the Internet’s complexities to reveal in near-real time previously-unseen critical operational challenges and threats.
Joining the Lab
If you are interested in taking a class to learn more about our lab’s research area, check out these courses: ECE239AS: Computer Network Measurement and Security. Currently our lab is mostly full, but feel free to email Liz or Manda to learn about when we might have future openings.
