Biography

 I'm an Assistant Professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Departments of Stanford University. Our research focuses on the design and implementation of future high speed wireless networks. The agenda spans everything from novel physical layer designs to wireless coexistence to virtualization substrates to cross-layer application design. My approach is to draw on tools from software systems, information, coding and optimization theories and apply them to practical problems encountered in wireless network design. I head the Stanford Networked Systems Group (SNSG). I am also a faculty member of the Open Networking Research Center.

Current Research Projects

  • OpenRadio: rearchitecting wireless infrastructure to be virtualizable and shareable
  • Full Duplex Wireless: redesigning wireless networks with radios that simultaneously transmit and receive (Mobicom 10, Mobicom 11)
  • Rateless networking: open loop wireless network design (Hotnets 10, Sigcomm 11)
  • Wireless Coexistence: cognitive protocols for co-existence in a crowded world (Sigcomm 11,HotNets 11)
  • Programmable Mobile Networks: using all the networks around us
  • FlexCast: graceful mobile wireless video (Mobicom 11)

    • Past research projects

  • Network Coding: rearchitecting wireless mesh networks
