Cezar Câmpeanu

Dr. Câmpeanu researches the theory of computing and works to describe efficiently a complex object by providing consistent information and eliminating redundancies. This philosophy, to compress information, carries through to his investigations into languages which may result in improved software packages that could be written faster and with fewer errors.

David LeBlanc

With a recent focus on cross-cultural interface design, Dr. LeBlanc is working to understand how different cultural groups approach, and learn from, various human-computer interfaces such as websites, office software, and computer games. Ultimately, his research may lead to the development of a system that automatically translates such interfaces from one culturally based design to another.

Qiang Ye

Dr. Qiang Ye researches communication networks, specifically protocol modeling and evaluation. He developed probing and pacing mechanisms to improve Transmission Control Protocol resilience and applied Petri nets to analyze the changed protocol. He also works on resilience mechanisms for the Internet and wireless networks.

Stephen L. Howard

Dr. Stephen Howard works to automate the management of distributed computing systems, and recently has developed an interest in wireless sensor networks. These networks consist of motes, small sensing devices whose tiny size and need for energy efficiency are forcing researchers to rethink traditional approaches to hardware, software, and network design.
