Georgios Y. Lazarou is currently an Assistant Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Mississippi State University. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Kansas in 2000, and the B.E. and M.E. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the City College of the City University of New York in 1992 and 1993, respectively. His current research interests lie in the area of integrated communication networks, including high-speed (gigabit) networks, modeling and performance evaluation of communication networks, network traffic management and analysis, admission and congestion control, quality of service for asynchronous transfer mode networks and differentiated services for the Internet, and network (transport) protocol evaluation and design. At the University of Kansas, he was a researcher at the Information and Telecommunication Technology Center (ITTC).
He has been involved in research projects concerning the performance of high-speed wide-area asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networking testbeds, such as the MAGIC gigabit testbed and the ACTS ATM Internetwork, and the dynamic bandwidth allocation of asynchronous transfer mode broadband networks. Results from his work have been published in journal and conference articles, and in technical reports. He is a member of Eta Kappa Nu, Tau Beta Pi, Phi Theta Kappa, Golden Key, and member of IEEE.
Rose Qingyang Hu received her B.S.E.E from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) with honor, 1992, her M.S in Mechanical Engineering from Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, NY, 1995, and her Ph.D. in E.E. from the University of Kansas, 1998. Her Ph.D. dissertation addressed ABR congestion control technique design and analysis issues in the wide area ATM networks. After receiving her Ph.D., she worked for the Wireless Systems Engineering Department of Nortel Networks as a senior member of scientific staff for approximately three years and then worked for a start-up company, Yotta Networks, as a senior systems engineer for another one year. While working at Nortel Networks and Yotta Networks, she did advanced research on traffic management, routing and QoS issues for multimedia Satellite networks, 3G wireless networks and next generation optical networks. Since January 2002, she has been with Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of Mississippi State University as an assistant professor. Her current research interests include optical network mesh restoration, QoS and performance evaluations in high-speed telecommunication networks.
Yul Chu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Mississippi State University. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of British Columbia, BC, Canada in 2001, MS in Electrical Engineering from Washington State University in 1995, and Bachelor in applied electronics from KwangWoon University, Seoul, Korea in 1984. His current research interests lie in the area of high performance computer architecture, network processor, wireless terminal, memory hierarchy, parallel processing, cluster and high-available architectures, microarchitecture, digital design, etc. Dr. Chu is a member of the ACM, the ASEE, the IEEE Computer Society, the IEEE Technical Committee in Computer Architecture, and IEEE Task Force on Cluster Computing. His Research Initiation Program proposal, Efficient Memory Utilization for On-Chip Cache Memory, was selected for funding at Mississippi State University in January 2002.
