In prior research, I have worked on how to adapt computer network protocols to incorporate mobile computers. Initially, networks protocols were designed to work with only computers that were not mobile. With the advent of mobile computers, it became necessary to re-examine the functionality of these protocols when some or all the computers in the network were mobile. My previous work pertained to the Media Access (MAC) and Application layers.

I am currently interested in mobile multimedia applications and specifically in graphics applications in mobile/wireless environments
