| Dr. Nicholas Bambos [Stanford University] |
| Nicholas Bambos is a Professor at Stanford University, having a joint appointment in the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Department of Management Science & Engineering. He is heading the Network Architecture and Performance Engineering research group at Stanford conducting research in wireless network architectures, the Internet infrastructure, network reliability and operations management, ‘smart’ switching, etc. while being involved in various research projects in his Network Architecture Laboratory (NetLab). He is the Founding Director (since 1999) of the Stanford Networking Research Center (SNRC), a major research and technology development partnership between Stanford and the information technology industry in the Silicon Valley and beyond, involving tens of Stanford Faculty members and Ph.D. students, as well as several corporate members.
He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) from the University of California at Berkeley (1989), as well as the M.S. in EECS (1987) and the M.A. in Mathematics (1989) from the same University. He graduated in Electrical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens-Greece (1984) with first class honors. Before joining Stanford as an Associate Professor in 1996, he served as Assistant (1990-95) and tenured Associate Professor (1995-96) in the Electrical Engineering Department of the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). Nick Bambos has held the Cisco Systems Faculty Development Chair (1999-2003) in computer networking at Stanford and has won the IBM Faculty Award (2002) for high-impact research in performance engineering of computer systems and networks, as well as the Griffin Award (1997). He has been the David Morgenthaler Faculty Scholar (1996-99) at Stanford, and has received the National Young Investigator Award (1992) from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for research in computer networks and distributed computing architectures, as well as the NSF Research Initiation Award (1990) for studies in performance modeling of computer systems. He has also been a U.C. Regents Fellow, a David Gale Fellow, and an Earl Anthony Fellow. He is on the Editorial Boards of several research journals and serves on various international technical committees and review panels for networking research and information technologies. He is also on the Corporate and/or Technical Boards of various start-up companies in the Silicon Valley, provides consulting services on high technology development and management matters, and has served as lead expert witness in high-profile patent litigation cases in networking and computing. |
