Reached out to Robert Ricci to begin building a relationship (https://www.cs.utah.edu/ricci-robert/). The goal is to get connected to a research university local to me and get to know the professors that research p2p and scalability. Trying to find students that are researching p2p topics that are relevant to the libp2p community. I want to get a dialog going about how libp2p could better serve their needs. The University of Utah has a large scale simulation lab that could be used for p2p network simulations at scales we've never tried before: https://www.flux.utah.edu/project/emulab

I have a meeting set up with Professor Ricci to discuss several things:

1. Can the libp2p research community get access to the University of Utah's Ecolab network simulation and testing platform.
2. How the libp2p community can better engage with the distributed systems research community and make libp2p more attractive for researchers to use in their research.
