Zygmunt J.
Haas received his B.Sc. in EE in 1979 and M.Sc. in EE in 1985. In 1988,
he earned his Ph.D. from Stanford
University and
subsequently joined AT&T Bell Laboratories in the Network Research Department.
There he pursued research on wireless communications, mobility management, fast
protocols, optical networks, and optical switching. From September 1994 till
July 1995, Dr. Haas worked for the AT&T Wireless Center of Excellence,
where he investigated various aspects of wireless and mobile networking,
concentrating on TCP/IP networks. Since August 1995, he has been with the
faculty of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell
University. Since August 2013, he joined the Computer Science Department at the
University of Texas at Dallas, where he is now a Professor and Distinguished
Chair.
Dr. Haas is an author of over 300 technical papers and holds twenty
one patents in the fields of high-speed networking, wireless networks, and
optical switching. He has organized several workshops, delivered numerous
tutorials at major IEEE and ACM conferences, and has served as editor of
several journals and magazines, including the IEEE Transactions on Networking,
the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, the IEEE Communications
Magazine, the Springer “Wireless Networks” journal, the Elsevier “Ad Hoc
Networks” journal, the “Journal of High Speed Networks,” and the Wiley
“Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing” journal. He has been a guest
editor of IEEE JSAC issues on "Gigabit Networks," "Mobile
Computing Networks," and "Ad-Hoc Networks." Dr. Haas is an IEEE
Fellow, an IET Fellow, and a Fellow of EAI. He has served in the past as a
Chair of the IEEE Technical Committee on Personal Communications (TCPC). His
interests include: mobile and wireless communication and networks,
biologically-inspired networks, and modeling of complex systems. His e-mail is: haas(at)utdallas(dot)edu and his URL is: http://www.utdallas/~haas/
Research Interests and Activities:
The
goal of my research is the proliferation of wireless and mobile communication,
so as to allow ubiquitous, multi-media access to information and services by
mobile and stationary users. My research interests concentrate on two fields:
Wireless Communications and Mobile Systems, and Biologically-inspired Complex
Systems and Networks. In the context of the Wireless Communications and Mobile
System topic, I am interested in studying (a) novel protocols for information
dissemination in ad hoc and sensor networks, and (b) the effects of mobility on
protocol design and on the optimal distribution of processing in distributed
systems. In the context of Biologically-inspired Complex Systems and Networks,
I am interested in stochastic modeling of complex systems based on incomplete
observation of the behavior of such systems.
