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
We are looking for new students to join the lab! If you are interested getting involved, please reach out to Liz or Manda.
