Research Activities –
Dr. Kumar’s research
encompasses a broad spectrum of theoretical and applied research activities,
involving all types of networks – wireless and wireline
data networks, sensor networks, and high performance broadband networks.
Significant emphasis is placed on design and analysis of protocols, networking
architecture, configurations and measurements for performance efficiency,
security, and survivability of wireless and wireline
networks. Dr. Kumar is the founder of NSF funded Networking Research Lab (NRL)
which houses leading-edge networking equipment. The NRL research activities
have played a major role in design & evaluation of new architecture and
protocols of next generation networks, and secure network systems. NRL is
uniquely positioned to provide graduate research students hands-on experience
which is highly sought after in telecom, data and wireless Industry. Dr.
Kumar’s research group is actively solving research problems that result in
significant practical impact.
