John Chuang

Associate Professor
Focus: Computer networks, Internet economics

Current Research

My research involves the technical, economic, and policy dimensions of computer networking. I’m particularly interested in how economics informs the design of networks and distributed systems, including incentive mechanisms for peer-to-peer networks, service differentiation for web-caching and content distribution networks, and ubiquitous broadband access to the Internet.

Something few people know about me
I worked for Jerry Yang before he became a household name, when we were both graduate students at Stanford. Unfortunately, I was working for him as a grader for an intro VLSI course in Electrical Engineering that he was TA'ing, rather than as an early employee of his Yahoo! startup.
