Research
Wide-ranging research program in the areas of wireless networks, ubiquitous computing and networking systems, high-speed communications networks (in particular switching hardware), software (including protocols and signaling) design, and performance evaluation. Participant in founding of MAGIC gigabit testbed, LAN/WAN gateway and congestion control research in this testbed. Participant in founding of the ACTS ATM internet work, research on TCP and ATM congestion control schemes in this testbed. Participant in founding of the SPARTAN testbed, research on multimedia applications over this testbed. Participant in the CAIRN and DARTnet networks sponsored by DARPA. Performed sponsored research in signal processing, including adaptive filtering, digital speech processing, and VLSI design and algorithms for signal processing. Collaborative research with the School of Education on the use of the Internet to distribute K-12 educational resources to schools. Developed software in use by over 50 schools.
