Biography
I have been employed as a scientist by BBN Technologies since 1998. In that time, I have contributed to a wide range of research projects funded by government and by private industry in the areas of high speed routing and encryption, spread spectrum radio design and implementation, design and simulation of self-organizing ad-hoc networks, and embedded programming and digital signal processing.
I earned my M.S. in Computer Science (1997) and B.S. in Computer Engineering (1994) at the University of California at San Diego, with Joe Pasquale as my advisor.
Projects
The projects I have contributed to include:
- Hi-DSN: High-Throughput Distributed Spacecraft Network (NASA) [PDF]
- The Hi-DSN project presented an architecture and laboratory testbed for a new, tightly integrated protocol suite intended to support a self-forming mesh topology of spacecraft and ground stations. For this project, Chris Lirakis and I implemented a four node testbed network for demonstrating the physical layer of the network, using DSPs and digital radios for software modulation and demodulation of the TCeMA (TDMA with CDMA-encoding Multiple Access) protocols.
- DAWN: Density- and Asymmetry-Adaptive Wireless Networking (DARPA)
- The DAWN project enhanced the existing MMWN ad-hoc networking system to incorporate scalable routing algorithms, power control and unidirectional link detection. I added several of these mechanisms to the network simulation implemented in OPNET.
