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:
Some of the earlier projects include the followings:
- A Visible Light Communication (VLC) Testbed for Next Generation Wireless Research (w/ Georgia State)
- Secure Communications Link Between Robotics and Autonomous Systems
- Stable and Efficient Peering Through Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) (w/ RPI)
