My research interests are in networked, wireless, and computer systems with a recent focus on optical wireless, spectrum sharing, device-to-device systems, network architectures and economics, and network management. My older work, with occasional current activity, has included wireless routing, multicast, peer-to-peer and overlays, and network science. I direct Networking and Wireless Systems Lab (NWSL) at UCF. Our work spans both theoretical and experimental aspects of computer and networked systems research. I am a strong believer in inter-disciplinary research and much of my projects have been collaborative with experts from fields other than networking like economics, math, management/policy sciences, and physics. Here is a list of some of our recent projects:
- 3D RF/FSO Mesh Networking with Challenged Infrastructure
- A Visible Light Communication (VLC) Testbed for Next Generation Wireless Research (w/ Georgia State)
- Directional Software-Defined Radio
- Secure Communications Link Between Robotics and Autonomous Systems
- Stable and Efficient Peering Through Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) (w/ RPI)
Some of the earlier projects include the followings:
- Multi-Element Mobile Visible Light Communication for Smart Cities
- Modeling and Development of Resilient Communication for First Responders in Disaster Management (w/ UC Riverside, UIC, and Rutgers)
- US Ignite: Rapid and Resilient Critical Data Sourcing for Public Safety and Emergency Response (w/ VCU)
- Multi-Element Illuminication for Mobile Free-Space-Optical Networks (w/ FIU, NCSU)
- Pervasive Spectrum Sharing for Public Safety Communications (w/ NCSU and VTech)
- OMEGA: Online Management, Experimentation, and GAme of Large-Scale Networks
- FSO-MANETs: Free-Space-Optical Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (w/ RPI)
- Contract-Switching: Value Flows and Risk Management Architecture for Future Internet (w/ RPI)
- PIM Reconfiguration in Backbone Video Networks (w/ AT&T Labs)
- Value of Class-of-Service (CoS) Support in the Internet Backbone (w/ AT&T Labs)
- DTONs: Towards Disconnection Tolerant, Opportunistic Internet (w/ RPI)
