I am a professor in the Computer and Information Systems (CIS)
department at Temple University, Philadelphia and director of the Temple site
of the NSF IUCRC called CRIS (Center for Research in Intelligent
Storage). Prior to this I was
with Center for Secure Information Systems (CSIS) at George Mason University, Fairfax,
VA and serving as a program director in the Computer and Networks Systems
(CNS) division cluster of CISE/CNS division from 2008-2013. Prior to this, I worked for Intel
Corporation on future server architectures and technologies. My recent
research interests include the following:

My other areas with significant expertise and prior/ongoing work include (a) Traffic
characterization of internet and e-commerce servers, (b) Detailed platform
level performance modeling, (c) Network acceleration at transport and higher
layers, (d) compression technologies, and (e) peer to peer computing. Prior to
joining Intel, I was with Bellcore (now Telcordia) from 1992 to 1997 where I
worked on a both Operations support and Switching sides of Telecom. In
particular, I worked on a variety of aspects related to Signaling System no 7
(SS7) including SS7 congestion control, link error monitoring, capacity
planning and personal communications technologies. Prior to Bellcore, I was
an associate professor of computer science at Penn State University (1985-1991)
primarily working in areas of performance modeling and distributed systems.
From 1981-1985, I was an assistant professor in the EECS department,
Northwestern University, working mainly in the areas of fault-tolerance
and performance modeling. In 1992, I published a graduate level textbook
on performance modeling, titled Introduction to Computer Systems Performance Modeling,
McGraw Hill, 1992.
I was elected a
fellow of the IEEE for contributions to enterprise server performance and power management technologies
and Domain Name System Robustness. At NSF, I represented the CISE directorate
in driving the large Sustainability initiative called SEES (Science,
Engineering, and Education for Sustainability) from its inception in 2010 until
2013, including the many funding programs that it produced. In 2012 I received
directors award for my contributions to SEES.
Available
Ph.D. Position:
I am looking for a
Ph.D. immediately who has a good EE and CS background for a new NSF project on
intrabody wireless networks. Ideally, would like somebody who has some
experience in designing hardware boards (e.g., background in Verilog/VHDL),
some background in electromagnetics, and background in wireless networks and
security.
