Biography of Instructors

Steven M. Bellovin joined the faculty at Columbia University after many years at the Network Services Research Lab at AT&T Labs Reasearch in Florham Park, New Jersey. His focus is on networks, security, and why the two are incompatible. In 1995, he was awarded the Usenix Lifetime Achievement Award for his work in the creation of Usenet, the first newsgroup exchange network that linked two or more computer and allowed users to share information and join in discussions. Steve is also an elected member of the National Academy of Engineering. He received his BA from Columbia University and his PhD from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Randy Bush is founder of the Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), http://www.nsrc.org/, an NSF-supported pro bono effort to help develop and deploy networking technology in projects throughout the world. The NSRC started as a volunteer effort to support networking in southern Africa in 1988, when Bush designed, taught about, and helped deploy a multi-country network using varying technologies. The NSRC works with indigenous network engineers and operators who develop and maintain Internet infrastructure in their respective countries and regions by providing technical information, engineering assistance, training, donation of books, equipment and other resources.

Brian Candler is a freelance consultant to the ISP industry, and trainer with the Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC). He has been working with Unix systems, IP networks and open-source software for the past 17 years, during which time he has also been a trainer at numerous workshops for the Internet Society, the African Network Operators Group, and others. Before that he was a designer of embedded microprocessor systems. In his spare time he attempts to play jazz piano.

Yoshinobu Matsuzaki is a Senior Engineer at Internet Initiative Japan Inc., a pioneering commercial ISP in Japan. He has a decade of network operation experience with the IIJ backbone network team. His areas of expertise include network design, network operation, network security, and DNS. He has given numerous talks at JANOG, NANOG, RIPE, APNIC and SANOG meetings, as wells as other workshops.

Patrick Okui is a Network Engineer and Trainer for the Network Startup Resource Center. When he's not doing work at the NSRC he spends his time doing develoment, network design and roll out at Cristal Inc, a small startup in Uganda. Up until 2011 (from 2001) he worked at different mostly Internet related companies including a couple of ISPs and the Ugandan Chrsitian University.

Since 2003 Patrick has been participating in the AfNOG workshop as an instructor but also as part of the NOC team that gets the network setup and keeps it running during the event. He also has participated in workshops organised by the Internet Society (ISOC) for setting up IXPs or localising different parts of the AfNOG workshop programme.

At NSRC, Patrick helps with workshop planning, training, material development as well as direct engineering and assistance as and when requests come up to the NSRC. This includes the active NOC role played before and during the AfNOG/AfriNIC workshops and conferences.

Certificate of paticipation, training materials, lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Please note that the places are limited and the registration will be on a "first come - first served" basis. If you have any further queries, please contact Ms. Sweet Mae Montelclaro email: training at interlab.ait.ac.th.
