Andrew W. Moore

Andrew W. Moore is a Professor of Networked Systems at the University of Cambridge's Department of Computer Science and Technology. His research focuses on networked systems design, high-performance prototyping (e.g., NetFPGA), and latency measurement across scales from data centers to wide-area networks. He has contributed to SDN architectures, reconfigurable networking, and energy-efficient interconnects.

He teaches courses including Computer Networking (Part IB), Scientific Computing (Part IA), and advanced modules on network measurements and system performance. His work emphasizes open-source tools and reproducible research, with publications in top venues like IEEE Transactions and ACM SIGCOMM.

Research interests span Systems and Networking, Computer Architecture, Machine Learning applications in networking, and Security. Recent work addresses data center latency optimization, SDN-enabled IXPs, and FPGA-based network prototyping. Collaborations include projects on energy-aware networks and hardware-software co-design.

He leads the NetFPGA initiative, a widely used open-source FPGA platform for networking research and education. His lab also explores emerging storage media and applications of software-defined networking in critical infrastructure.
