Performance Analysis and Measurements of Low Earth Orbit Satellite Networks

Rohan Bose is a PhD candidate at the Chair of Connected Mobility at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany, supervised by Prof. Dr. Jörg Ott. His research focuses on understanding the behavior and performance of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks, with particular emphasis on Starlink.
Rohan's work combines large-scale Internet measurements with practical system analysis to investigate communication systems that span multiple network types. His research on Starlink CDN performance contributed to the IETF/IRTF Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) 2025. He uses platforms like RIPE Atlas for Internet-wide measurements and has developed measurement tools including starlink-cdn-analysis for CDN performance analysis and netmet, a browser plugin for network performance measurement.
His research has been featured in international media outlets including Rest of World News and RIPE Labs, where he discussed Starlink's impact in Africa and presented technical insights on satellite network measurements. He has published at leading conferences including ACM HotNets.
