Santa Clara University (SCU) Alumnus, Kamak Ebadi, Ph.D. '20, embarked on his journey to work for NASA fueled by a powerful dream. Born during the 8-year-long Iran-Iraq war and raised in a country slowly recovering from its devastation, Kamak faced immense challenges. With Iran lacking diplomatic ties with the U.S. and financial obstacles making the idea of moving to the U.S. seem impossible, Kamak's dream of joining NASA appeared out of reach. However, undeterred by adversity, Kamak dared to dream big and set his sights on reaching for the stars.

As the diversity and quantity of devices connected to the Internet expand, the complexity of monitoring and configuring networks correspondingly escalates. In response to these burgeoning challenges, Software-defined Networking (SDN) has been deployed as a paradigm shift to imbue networks with centralized intelligence through the utilization of controllers. These controllers are tasked with the surveillance and administration of networking appliances, including but not limited to routers. While this architecture offers significant potential for evolving network management, it is crucial to address existing limitations such as the latency and communication overhead in the interactions between controllers and network appliances, known as southbound communication. Enhancing southbound communication is essential for developing dynamic, intelligent methodologies for managing next-generation networks.
