About the Speakers

Edward Knightly is a professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rice University. He joined Rice in 1996 and was a visiting professor at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland in 2003. He received the B.S. degree from Auburn University in 1991 and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California at Berkeley in 1992 and 1996 respectively. Dr. Knightly is an IEEE Fellow, a Sloan Fellow, and a recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER Award. He received the best paper award from ACM MobiCom 2008.

Dr. Knightly served as an associate editor for multiple journals including IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, and the Computer Networks Journal, and served as guest editor for the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas of Communications Special Issue on Multi-Hop Wireless Mesh Networks. He served as general chair of ACM MobiHoc 2009 and ACM MobiSys 2007 and as technical co-chair of IEEE INFOCOM 2005 and numerous workshops. He regularly serves on the program committee for numerous networking conferences including IEEE INFOCOM, ACM MobiCom, and ACM SIGMETRICS.

Dr. Knightly's research interests are in the areas of mobile and wireless networks and high-performance and denial-of-service resilient protocol design. His experimental research includes deployment and operation of a programmable 4,000 user urban multi-tier multi-hop wireless network in Houston, TX, and design of a high-performance FPGA platform for clean-slate wireless protocol design. His protocol designs include fairness mechanisms that are now part of the IEEE 802.11s mesh and IEEE 802.17 packet ring standards.

Pablo Serrano got his Telecommunication Engineering degree and his PhD from the University Carlos III of Madrid (UC3M) in 2002 and 2006, respectively. He has been with the Telematics Department of UC3M since 2002, where he currently holds the position of Assistant Professor. In 2007 he was a Visiting Researcher at the Computer Network Research Group at Univ. of Massachusetts Amherst partially suported by the Spanish Ministry of Education under a José Castillejo grant. His current work focuses on performance evaluation of wireless networks. He has over 30 scientific papers in peer-reviewed international journal and conferences. He also serves as TPC member of several international conferences, including IEEE Globecom and IEEE INFOCOM.
