Topics: internet, programming, networking, wireless networks, internet infrastructure
Currently not giving talks.
Theresa studied (telecommunication) computer science and got a PhD in the field of Internet Architectures. She has taught introductory courses in programming and a hands-on course on working with WLAN routers and measurements, as well as given presentations about her research.
She likes to talk about computer systems and their networking implementation (specifically anything Linux-based), performance of networks, and Internet Infrastructure.
On a more basic level, she can explain how the Internet works on a technical level and how a computer connects to the Internet - for people without prior technical knowledge or for people with a background in computer science and programming, but without specific knowledge of computer networking.
Also, she is concerned with feminism, queer/LGBT* topics (specifically bisexuality) and queer feminism.
She has given a workshop on discrimination against bi/pan, and about bisexuality and polyamory, and likes to talk about all topics related to bi- and pansexuality and intersectional feminism.
Examples of previous talks / appearances:
Nowadays, most end devices have multiple network interfaces to connect to the Internet. They usually pick a statically configured default interface, such as WiFi, which they prefer over LTE when both are available, but this is not necessarily the choice that provides the best performance to the application. Socket Intents is a research prototype that addresses the problem of finding policies of which network interface to pick for what kind of traffic or application. It provides several networking APIs through which an application can specify its "Intents", i.e., what it knows or assumes about its own traffic. The prototype then decides which of the available network interfaces to use.
