Kimberly Claffy ("kc claffy") is founder and director of the Center for Applied
Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA), based at the University of
California's San Diego Supercomputer Center, and
Adjunct Professor in the Computer Science and Engineering
Department at UCSD. kc's research interests include measurement,
analysis, and visualization of Internet workload, routing,
topology and performance data. CAIDA seeks, through the
collection and curation of strategic Internet data sets and
freely available tools and analysis methodologies, to improve
the scientific integrity of network research and to promote
more informed engineering, business, and policy decisions
regarding the Internet infrastructure. kc received her Ph.D.
in Computer Science from UCSD in 1994.
