director of CWSA in
2004, a university-wide center on wireless systems and
applications. In July 2007, he joined The Ohio State
University as the Ohio Eminent Scholar of Networking and Communications, and Professor of ECE and CSE.
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. His research is funded by
various companies such as Motorola, Intel, Hewlett Packard, Nortel,
AT&T, BAE systems, and L. G. Electronics; and
government agencies such as the National Science
Foundation (NSF), Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency (DARPA), Indiana Dept. of Transportation, and the
Indiana 21st Century fund.
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. In 2008, he will
