Marwan M. Krunz received the Ph.D. degree in electrical
engineering from Michigan State University
in July 1995. He joined the University of Arizona in January 1997, after a
brief postdoctoral stint at the University
of Maryland, College Park. He is currently a professor of
electrical and computer engineering and the co-director of Connection One, a joint NSF/state/industry
IUCRC cooperative research center that focuses on RF and wireless communication
systems and networks. At present, the center consists of five participating
universities (UA, ASU, OSU, RPI, and Univ.
of Hawaii) and 20+
industrial affiliates. Dr. Krunz chaired the computer engineering group of the
ECE Department (2006-2008). He previously held visiting research positions at
INRIA (Sophia Antipolis, France), HP Labs (Palo Alto,
California), Paris VI University, and US West
(now Qwest) Advanced Technologies (Boulder, Colorado). Dr. Krunz's
research is in communications technology and networking, with particular
emphasis on resource allocation, adaptive control, and distributed protocol
design. Recently, he has been involved in projects related to cognitive radios
and SDRs; distributed resource management in wireless networks; protocol design
for MANETs; MIMO and smart-antenna-based systems; UWB-based wireless personal
area networks; energy management and clustering in sensor networks; video streaming
over wireless networks; routing, fault monitoring, and detection in all-optical
networks; path selection for MDC (multiple description coding) based media
streaming; quality-of-service routing; WWW caching and prefetching; and adaptive
packet encapsulation. Previously, he worked on packet scheduling and buffer
management in switches and routers, QoS provisioning, effective-bandwidth
theory, traffic characterization, and video-on-demand systems. He has published
more than 130 journal articles and refereed conference papers (see Publications for
details) and has 3 US
patents.
Dr. Krunz is a recipient of the National Science Foundation
CAREER Award (1998-2002). He currently serves on the editorial board
for the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, the IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, and
the Computer Communications
Journal. He was a guest co-editor for special issues in IEEE Micro
and IEEE Communications Magazines. He served as a technical program chair for
the IEEE INFOCOM 2004 Conference, Hong Kong,
March 2004, the IEEE International Conference on Sensor and Ad hoc
Communications and Networks (SECON 2005), Santa
Clara, Sep. 2005, the IEEE International Symposium on a World of Wireless,
Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM 2006),
Buffalo, New York, June 2006, and the 9th Hot Interconnects Symposium, San
Francisco, California, August 2001. He has served and continues to serve on the
executive and technical program committees of numerous international
conferences, and on the panels of several NSF directorates. He was an invited
speaker at several technical meetings and NSF workshops. He gave several
tutorials at premier wireless networking conferences (e.g., MobiCom, MobiHoc).
His research has been funded by NSF, Raytheon, the UA/ASU Center for Low Power
Electronics, and the Connection One Consortium. Dr. Krunz is a senior member of
the IEEE and a member of the ACM.
