CERL

Kevin M. McNeill PhD - Acting Director (CV, Bibliography)

The Computer Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) was established in 1957 by Dr. Granino A. Korn to perform research and development in high speed analog and hybrid computation and later in multiple digital cmputer systems and continuous systems simulation languages.  The CERL has been active in producing computer and networking technology and graduating Master's and Doctoral students since its founding. In 1982 Dr. Ralph Martinez became director and expanded the research and development focus of the CERL into internet gateway protocols, distributed computing environments, multimedia distributed collaborative systems, and high speed networks for medical imaging, PACS, health and medical informatics systems, distance learning and telemedicine systems. In 2003 Dr. Kevin M. McNeill became Acting Director while Dr. Martinez is on leave of absence. The CERL continues its tradition of excellence in network research and is also working in the areas of software defined radio, development of advanced Hardware-in-the-Loop and Software-in-the-Loop simulation techniques and mobile ad hoc netowrks
