Hard Real-Time Communications over Wireless Networks Speaker: Prof. James Gross (Aachen University, Germany) Time: April 15, 2011, 10:00-11:30 Location: MMW Room MMW311 Homepage: http://www.performance.rwth-aachen.de/people/gross Bio.
In January 2008 I joined RWTH Aachen University as assistant professor and
head of a (junior) research group on "Mobile Network Performance". On the one
hand this group is associated with Lehrstuhl I4 for Communication and
Distributed Systems, however, we are also part of the "DFG Exzellenzcluster UM
IC - Ultra-High Speed Mobile Communication and Information". In 2002, I graduated from TU Berlin in computer engineering after having
spent one year at the University of California, San Diego as stipendiary.
Afterwards, I joined the Telecommunication Networks Group of Prof. Adam Wolisz
at TU Berlin as Ph.D. scholar of the "DFG Graduiertenkolleg MAGSI" (from 2002
- 2006) and as post-doc in 2007. I received my doctoral degree with honours
for my thesis on dynamic resource allocation in wireless OFDMA networks. This
work was also awarded the VDE-ITG/GI KuVS Ph.D.thesis prize in 2007. Apart
from that I also received the "Erwin-Stephen" prize of TU Berlin for my master
degree in 2002. My research interests are in the area of adaptation for wireless networks.
This includes topics like network design, network management,optimization,
resource allocation, quality-of-service provisioning,modeling and performance
evaluation. I like working on clear problem definitions in the mathematical
sense and exploring solutions with respect to theoretical models but also
considering performance in practise.Currently, I am contributing to the IEEE 8
02.11 standardization committee on the design of future (i.e. post 802.11n)
wireless local area networks. On the other hand, within the UMIC research
centre I am actively pushing the inter-disciplinary topic of large-scale, high
-detail wireless network simulations. I am a member of the IEEE, VDE and GI
and served on several program committees in the above research fields.
