Ahmed Saeed received the NSF CAREER Award.
Advanced Networked Systems Research
We build networked computer systems that are fast, efficient, sustainable, and easier to reason about at scale.
Systems For A Connected World
The Advanced Networked Systems Research Lab at Georgia Tech is led by Ahmed Saeed. Our research spans the theory, design, and implementation of scalable computer networks and computer systems, with a focus on resource scheduling, congestion control, operating systems, Internet measurement, and formal methods.
We work on systems that operate under real pressure: cloud and datacenter services, edge and satellite networks, and infrastructure whose cost, energy use, and reliability shape everyday life. The lab combines principled models with deployable mechanisms, aiming for tools that improve performance without hiding the tradeoffs that operators and developers need to understand.
- High-utilization cloud and datacenter systems
- Load, admission, and resource management for modern services
- Congestion control, scheduling, and operating-system support
- Internet measurement, resilience, and sustainable infrastructure
