I am affiliated with the Networking Laboratory, Center for Pervasive Computing and Networking (CPCN), and the Center for Image Processing Research (CIPR) at ECSE. I work with a great set of student colleagues. Our external sponsors include DARPA-ITO , NSF , ARO, AT&T Labs Research , Intel Corp. (Research Council and IXA Program), MIT Lincoln Labs (AFOSR subcontract) , and WIMAX Forum . We have been funded in the past by IBM Corp. (IBM SUR Program) , Qwest Communications Inc. , Packeteer Inc. , Nortel Networks (University Research Program) , Reuters Inc. , and Pulsecom Inc . We also work closely with standards bodies like WIMAX Forum , IETF , the ATM Forum and several industrial friends including Cisco, Lucent, Nokia, Sprint, Starburst, Tellabs and Torrent (Ericsson). Broad areas of our research include:

• 1) Traffic Management: QoS Architectures, Uncooperative Flows, VPN Provisioning, Pricing
• Value of Class-of-Service (CoS) Support in the Internet Backbone : A resource & cost-based perspective on the network neutrality debate.
• 2) Congestion Control and Control-Theoretic Foundations: Unicast and Multicast
• 3) Wireless Networks: Link/Transport Layers, Reliability, Capacity, Community Wireless, Free-Space-Optical Networks
• 4) Large-Scale and Online Performance Analysis Tools for Network Management
• 5) Multimedia Networking: Joint Source-Network Protocol Optimization
