Biography
Dr. Jun Li is an Associate Professor at the University of Oregon, where he established and directs the Network Security Research Laboratory. He received his Ph.D. from UCLA in 2002 (with honors), M.E. from Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1995 (with Presidential Scholarship), and B.S. from Peking University in 1992, all in computer science. His current research includes Internet worm detection, BGP routing, IP source address validity, and security for peer-to-peer systems. He has published a book on disseminating security updates over the Internet and about 30 peer-reviewed papers. He has also served at several NSF panels and 20+ technical program committees. He is a 2007 recipient of the prestigious NSF CAREER award.
Research Interests
Prof. Jun Li's research has focused on Internet worm detection, Internet routing forensics, protected client-to-client data sharing, and Internet source address validity enforcement. The former two tackle the detection of attacks and anomalies: his worm research investigates the essential behaviors of worm connections crossing the gateway of enterprise networks, and the routing forensics research studies the impact on Internet routing by abnormal events such as security attacks and electricity outage. The latter two solve prominent security deficiencies in the current Internet and its applications: in studying protected client-to-client data sharing, he designed and developed Revere and mSSL, and his work on SAVE and ID^3 propose new protocols to ensure the source address of Internet packets are valid.
Prof. Li is the principal investigator of a NSF grant on routing forensics study, and his research is also funded by his NSF CAREER award, the Intel Research Council, and UO Office of Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies.
