CAIDA: The Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA) investigates practical and theoretical aspects of the Internet in order to: provide macroscopic insights into Internet infrastructure, behavior, usage, and evolution; foster a collaborative environment in which data can be acquired, analyzed, and (as appropriate) shared; improve the integrity of the field of Internet science; and inform science, technology, and communications public policies.
CAIDA offers a number of networking research internships for our graduate students. http://www.caida.org/home
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory: Berkeley Lab is a member of the national laboratory system supported by the US Department of Energy through its Office of Science. It is managed by the University of California (UC) and is charged with conducting unclassified research across a wide range of scientific disciplines. Berkeley Lab was founded in 1931 by physicist and Nobel laureate Ernest Orlando Lawrence, who believed that scientific research is best done through teams of individuals with different fields of expertise, working together. His teamwork concept is a Berkeley Lab legacy that continues today.
