Professional Summary: After receiving his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1988, he joined AT&T Bell Laboratories in the Network Research Department where he pursued research on wireless communications, mobility management, fast protocols, optical networks, and optical switching. From September 1994 until July 1995, he worked for the AT&T Wireless Center of Excellence, investigating various aspects of wireless and mobile networking, concentrating on TCP/IP networks. Since, August 1995, this Ph.D. has been a member of the faculty of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University, where he is now a Full Professor. His research interests concentrate on two fields: Wireless Communications and Mobile Systems. In the Wireless Communications field, he is interested in studying micro-cellular systems design with applicability to future wireless ATM-based networks. In particular, optimal handoff procedures, optimal power-control algorithms, and optimization of system capacity are my primary targets. In the Mobile Systems field, he is interested in investigating the effects of mobility on protocol design and on the optimal distribution of processing in distributed systems. This Ph.D. is an author of numerous technical papers and holds 18 patents. He has organized and chaired workshops and conferences in the communications and networking areas, delivered numerous tutorials at major IEEE and ACM conferences, and has served as editor of many journals and magazines. |
