Her research draws from networking, security, and machine learning. Overall, her goal is to design and build networked systems that are secure, reliable, and performant. Maria has been named a rising star in Computer Networking and Communications and has received the Google Research Scholar Award, Commendation for Outstanding Teaching, and the IETF/IRTF Applied Networking Research Prize. Maria completed her PhD in 2021 at ETH Zurich. During her studies, she was a visiting student at MIT and worked at Microsoft Research and Google. After her PhD, she spent a year at Carnegie Mellon University as a postdoctoral researcher. Prior to her PhD, she earned her diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens, Greece. Professor Apostolaki will present her research on: “Combining ML and Formal Methods for network management.” The presentation will be followed by a Q&A/discussion period open to the audience. The NextG Faculty Spotlight Series is hosted by Princeton NextG, an initiative of Princeton’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. The NextG Initiative at Princeton is creating the foundation for intelligent networks of the future across wireless, backbone networking, and cloud systems. The initiative focuses on cross-disciplinary approaches, bringing theory to practice, and covering the ‘full stack’ from the underlying technological fabric in integrated electronic and photonic circuits and systems, edge networks, IOT and cloud, to foundational theory, algorithms and AI approaches that make these networks scalable, efficient, secure, and accessible.
