WORK EXPERIENCE

NETWORK SCIENTIST, BBN Technologies, April 2001 present.

Some relevant projects:

- 2008-2009: Key Researcher, Petabit Highly Agile Robust Optical System (PHAROS)

a multi-million dollars DARPA project aimed at providing global high-capacity

fiber-optic core services with unprecedented speed, agility, and survivability.

o Lead multi-disciplinary consortium members in the design of a centralized but

scalable architecture for unified control of multi-vendor multi-domain

devices.

o Personally responsible for the design of the agile, technology-agnostic, and

highly efficient cross-layer resource allocator (CRA) module that

reconfigures the network resources (IP routers, OTN switches, ROADMs,

etc.) to efficiently satisfy diverse demands with different QoS, call setup, and

protection requirements as well as diverse timescales and blocking probability

targets. The CRA is responsible among other things -- for working path

selection, share protection computation, resource assignment and equipment

configuration.

- 2007-2009: Key Researcher, International Technology Alliance (ITA), an US ARL

and UK MoD led consortium of government, academy, and industry to perform joint

research in network centric systems. Performing fundamental research on network

science.

- 2008:Key Researcher, Policy-based Information centric Reliable Ad hoc Network

(PIRANA), -- a multi-million DARPA STO research project part of the Wireless

Network After Next (WNAN) Program. Designing routing algorithms to scale up to

one million nodes.

- 2005-2006: Principal Investigator for the BBN tasks in the Army Research Office

(ARO) Stochastic Optimal Control Algorithms and Next Generation Technologies

for Dynamic Resource Allocation in Mobile Communications Networks project, for

which BBN was a subcontractor to Scientific Systems Company, Inc (SSCI).

- 2003-2004:Key Researcher, Medium Access Control for XG Communications

(XMAC & XAP) a $2.2M DARPA ATO research project. Developing an

architecture and protocol set for XG communication.

- 2002-2003: Designer/Architect, Joint Tactical Radio System, Ground Mobile radios

(JTRS GMR, formerly Cluster 1) a multi-billion dollar joint-forces effort planned to

be the next-generation voice-and-data radio used by the U.S. military. JTRS is a

software-defined radio that will work with many existing military and civilian radios.

It includes integrated encryption and Wideband Networking Software to create

mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). I co-designed MALSR, WNW s subnet routing

protocol, proved to scale to JTRS cluster 1 stringent constraints (e.g. scalability to

1600+ nodes). I was also a co-author of the scalable multicast mesh algorithm used

for sparse mode multicast traffic.

- 2001-2002:Designer/Implementer, Utilizing Directional Antennas for Ad Hoc

Networks (UDAAN) a $1.5M DARPA ATO research project. Developed and

implemented novel technologies to support and exploit beamforming antennas in ad

hoc networks, including the first MAC protocol for beamforming antennas.

- 1999-2000 (as a consultant): Designer/Implementer, Density- and Asymmetry-

adaptive Wireless Network (DAWN) -- a $1.4M DARPA ATO research project.

Invented, analyzed, and implemented HSLS, the first ad hoc routing protocol that

scale with network size. HSLS is an easy-to-implement link state variant that does not

require complex hierarchies. 1999 2000.

Others

- My work on routing scalability is currently used as a basis for the Internet Research

Task Force on ad hoc network scalability.

- HSLS has been widely utilized by both the military and the commercial sector. For the

military, HSLS has become a building block in many large-scale radio projects (JTRS

WNW, as well as WNaN s PIRANA). For the commercial sector, there are currently 3rd

party open software implementations of HSLS that are being used to built community

wireless mesh networks in as diverse places as the USA, Ghana, and Peru.

the Information Society Technologies (IST) s Future and Emerging Technologies (FET)

call for proposals on Situated and Autonomic Communications.

- Reviewer for the most important conferences and journals in the field such as the

Journal of Selected Areas in Communications, Transactions on Networking, Wireless

Network Journal, etc.

- Senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
