Professor Karsten's main research interests are network protocols, algorithms, and architecture, with an emphasis on system performance, as well as implementation and evaluation. In general, he takes an interest in all aspects of communication networks, ranging from system design and operating system support for communication services to distributed resource allocation and economic considerations associated with future Internet services. In addition, he is interested in applying networking concepts to multi- and many-core computer systems.
Professor Karsten's research work focuses on the design and evaluation of innovative systems and algorithms to accomplish the above goals for communication networks. This includes network architecture, routing, addressing and naming, as well as resource allocation and transport protocols. He takes a comprehensive approach to the understanding and improvement of computer systems and network technologies with respect to theoretical complexity, real-world technical implementation and efficiency, as well as economics. This particularly includes challenges stemming from the evolutionary deployment that is often necessary for communication networks on a global scale.
Professor Karsten has been involved in several collaborative research projects with industry partners in the computer and telecommunications industry. He has also worked as a technical consultant in the financial industry and the telecommunications industry.
