Research:

My research interests are in algorithms for ad-hoc networks, mobile ad-hoc networks, sensor networks.
Main problems in this area that I work on are:

Routing Algorithms,
Energy efficiency of routing,
Efficient Data gathering,
Efficient Deployment of sensor networks,

Any student who is interested in graduate studies under my supervision must apply to the department to be considered for admission to graduate studies first. See information at prospective_students
