I am currently working as a Research Associate in the Programmable Networking Lab at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, Australia. I received my B.Eng. (First Class Hons.) and Ph.D. degree from the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia in 2017 and 2022 respectively.

My current research interests encompass computer networks with a specific focus on analysing telecommunications network traffic for on-demand networked application Quality-of-Experience and network security, leveraging novel tehniques of programmable networks, data-driven analytics, and machine learning.

The website also contains a list of my publications, blogs, teaching and professional services. You may also find me at Google Scholar and ResearchGate.

Our group is continously looking for PhD students who are self-motivated and have strong background in computer networks and systems. If you are interested, please do not hestiate contacting me via email [minzhao.lyu@unsw.edu.au].
