Fabian E. Bustamante is a Professor of Computer Science at the McCormick School of Engineering, Northwestern University. His research focuses on experimental analysis of large-scale Internet networks and distributed systems, emphasizing network measurement, infrastructure characterization, and system design improvements. He leads the AquaLab research group. Education: Ph.D. Computer Science, Georgia Institute of Technology (200?) M.S. Computer Science, Georgia Institute of Technology Licenciado en Ciencias de la Computacion, Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia San Juan Bosco, Argentina Analista Programador Universitario, same university Research Interests: Professor Bustamante's work spans network survivability, crisis-driven network analysis (e.g., Venezuela's internet), and re-architecting internet infrastructure. His lab develops tools to improve network visibility and system resilience. Recent Work Trends: 2023-2024 publications emphasize geopolitical network impacts, infrastructure interdependencies, and latency optimization across global networks. His team collaborates with institutions like ACM and Springer on measurement-driven system redesign. Lab/Team: AquaLab focuses on applied networking research with real-world deployment implications. Current projects include crisis network analysis and internet topology optimization.
