RESEARCH

My research interests are in computer, networked, and wireless systems. Some of the recent areas I have worked on are Free-Space-Optical (Optical Wireless) Networks; Network Architecture and Routing Economics; Wireless Routing; Network Modeling and Peer-to-Peer; Multicast; and Network Management and Simulation.

 

My research group is part of the Computer Networking Lab (CNL). Some of our recent projects have been:
