NARAYAN B. MANDAYAM

is currently the Peter D. Cherasia Faculty Scholar at Rutgers University. He received the B.Tech (Hons.) degree in 1989 from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in 1991 and 1994 from Rice University, Houston, TX, all in electrical engineering. From 1994 to 1996, he was a Research Associate at the Wireless Information Network Laboratory (WINLAB), Dept. of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Rutgers University. In September 1996, he joined the faculty of the ECE department at Rutgers where he became Associate Professor in 2001 and Professor in 2003. Currently, he also serves as Associate Director at WINLAB. He was a visiting faculty fellow in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Princeton University in Fall 2002 and a visiting faculty at the Indian Institute of Science in Spring 2003.

His research interests are in various aspects of wireless data transmission with emphasis on techniques for cognitive radio networks including their implications for spectrum policy. Using constructs from game theory, communications and networking, his work focusses on system modeling and performance, signal processing as well as radio resource management for enabling wireless technologies to support various applications.

 

Dr. Mandayam is a recipient of the Fred W. Ellersick Prize from the IEEE Communications Society in 2009 along with O. Ileri for their work on dynamic spectrum access models and spectrum policy. He is also the recipient of the Institute Silver Medal from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur in 1989 and the National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 1998. He has had the honor of being selected by the National Academy of Engineering for the NAKFI: Informed Brain in a Digital World Conference in 2012 and the Frontiers of Engineering Symposium in 1999. He is a coauthor of the books "Principles of Cognitive Radio," Cambridge and "Wireless Networks: Multiuser Detection in Cross-Layer Design," Springer. He has served as an Editor for the journals IEEE Communication Letters (1999-2002) and  IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications (2002-2004). He has served as a guest editor of the IEEE JSAC Special Issues on Adaptive, Spectrum Agile and Cognitive Radio Networks (2007) and Game Theory in Communication Systems (2008). He was elected Fellow of the IEEE for "contributions to wireless data transmission". He is currently serving as a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Communications Society. He has introduced with R. Frenkiel a multidisciplinary undergraduate course on "strategic and systems-thinking" titled Forces and Strategies that Shaped the Wireless Revolution
