It is with great pleasure that the Department of Computer Science and Engineering can announce that Dr. Ness Shroff has accepted the position of Ohio Eminent Scholar. his position is a joint appointment within the Departments Computer Science and Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering and received a significant amount of its funding from the Ohio Board of Regents.
Ness B. Shroff received his Ph.D. degree from Columbia University, NY in 1994. He joined Purdue University in November 1994, where he has been a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and director of the Center for WirelessSystems and Applications, a university-wide center on wireless systems and applications. His research interests span the areas of wireless and wireline communication networks. He is especially interested in fundamental problems in the design, performance, pricing, and security of these networks.
Dr. Shroff is an editor for IEEE/ACM Trans. on Networking and the Computer Networks Journal, and past editor of IEEE Communications Letters. He has served on the technical and executive committees of several major conferences and workshops. He was the technical program co-chair of IEEE INFOCOM '03, the premier conference in communication networking. He was also the conference chair of the 14th Annual IEEE Computer Communications Workshop (CCW '99), the program co-chair for the symposium on high-speed networks, Globecom 2001, and the panel co-chair for ACM Mobicom '02. Dr. Shroff was also a co-organizer of the NSF workshop on Fundamental Research in Networking, held in Arlie House Virginia, in 2003. Dr. Shroff has received numerous awards including the IEEE INFOCOM 2006 best paper award, the IEEE IWQoS 2006 best student paper award, the 2005 Journal of Commnications and Networking best paper of the year award, the 2003 best paper of the year award for Computer Networks, and the NSF CAREER award n 1996 (his IEEE INFOCOM 2005 paper was also selected as one of two runner-up papers for the best paper award).
New Assistant Professor Joins Systems GroupCSE is very pleased to have Dr. Feng Qin joining the department in the Systems area. Feng Qin received his Ph.D. in 2006 from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he worked in the OPERA group with Professor Yuanyuan Zhou. Dr. Qin got his B.E. from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1998 and M.E. from Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2001. He then joined the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research interestes include Operating Systems, Software Reliability, Security and Distributed Systems. His recent SOSP paper "Rx" was selected for fast forwarding to ACM Transactions on Computer Systems Special Issue on Best Papers from SOSP 2005.
