Communication networking (or just “networking”) goes beyond the transfer of bits over a physical medium (the so-called “physical layer”) to cover all issues involved in interconnecting communicating entities over networks of bit carriers. In my research group we deal with problems of performance analysis, network design, and the analysis and design of controls in networks. Our approach is via mathematical models, typically involving random processes, queueing theory, optimisation and stochastic control. In the recent years we have studied many aspects of wireless networks (access networks (both cellular and WiFi), ad hoc mesh networks, and wireless sensor networks). Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have thrown up several intriguing algorithm design problems such as distributed detection over wireless networks, and efficient algorithms for localisation and message forwarding. In the future we propose to work with other networked systems such as social networks, transportation networks, biological networks and energy networks.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Post-graduate research in networking trains a student to be a networking innovator. After the 3 to 4 years that a student spends in graduate research, his\/her potential for professional growth in the industry or academics is substantially enhanced. After completion of the research degree, the student can expect to get an attractive placement in industrial R&D or academics.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
