Research Interests

In the general areas of networking, distributed computing and software, with particular emphasis on robust, distributed algorithms for network control. Recent work includes:

• highly adaptive and scalable unicast routing for mobile, multihop ad hoc networks; (read about a Temporally-Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA))
• reservation-based (i.e. quality-of-service-based) multicast routing for mobile, multihop ad hoc networks;
• scalable reliable multicast routing for long-lived distributed computing sessions; and
• multiple access protocols for wireless local area networks.
