Yang Guo

I am a senior scientist with the Advanced Network Technologies Division (ANTD) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Prior to the current position, I was a Member of Technical Staff at Network Protocols and Systems Research Department, Bell Labs Research (Crawford Hill, New Jersey) from 2010 to 2015. Prior to that, I was a Principal Scientist at Technicolor (formerly Thomson) Corporate Research at Princeton, NJ. I obtained Ph.D. from University of Massachusetts at Amherst in year 2000, and M.S. and B.S. from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. 

My research interests span broadly over the distributed systems and networks, with a focus on Software Defined Networks (SDN) and its security, high-speed network measurement, and Machine Learning and its application in networking. In addition to the research, I am the author of many patents. See my publications at Google scholar, and patents here.  

Currently we have NIST/NRC Postdoctoral Fellowship opening for "Autonomous Network Metrology and Analytics" project.
