I currently work at CenGen, a company focused on enhancing communication capabilities and technologies. I received my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at University of California, Santa Barbara under the guidance of Elizabeth Belding. I received my B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering Department at Ohio State University. I also co-chair the MANET IETF WG, I am on the editorial board of the Ad hoc Networks Journal, and I am a guest editor for MC2R.
