MS in Systems Engineering, University of Maryland, College Park, 1997
PhD in Electrical Engineering, University of Maryland, College Park, 2000
I came to Ann Arbor, Michigan in August 2000. Prior to that I was a
graduate student at the
ECE Department , the
Institute for Systems Research ,
and the
Center for Satellite and Hybrid Communication Networks
at the University of Maryland, College Park.
Currently I am an associate professor with the
EECS Department,
University Michigan. I am
also an affiliate member of
the Center for Wireless Communications Research and
the
NSF Wireless Integrated Microsystems (WIMS) ERC .
Research
My research focuses on performance analysis and building
energy-efficient/high-performance networking mechanisms for
wireless sensor networks, mobile wireless ad hoc
networks, and broadband satellite networks.
I am also interested in optimal resource allocation as well
as network modeling and simulation techniques for such networks.
