Research Interests

Research Description

I have worked on some fundamental problems in the areas of parallel and distributed processing, mobile computing, and optical networking. My contributions have helped advance the frontier of knowledge in those areas. In particular, I have worked in the areas of routing and sorting, parallel parsing, task scheduling, distributed systems, mobile computing , and WDM. The fusion of computer and communications is redefining the way we do computing. Though there has been significant progress in interconnection mechanism and data transmission technology, new styles of software design, including algorithms, operating systems, compilers, have lagged behind. To make networked computing effective, efficient, and easily programmable, my current research also focuses on developing efficient algorithms, system software and tools.
