	Research Interests
	Topology control in ad-hoc networks, power control in heterogeneous wireless networks, cross-layer design of models and protocols for wireless multi-hop networks, algorithms for the efficient use of directional antennas and MIMO in wireless networks, distributed algorithms. Lately I am also interested in delay-tolerant networks and pervasive systems.
