 SHORT BIOGRAPHY

    Albert Banchs got his Telecommunication Engineering degree at the Polytechnical University of Catalonia in 1997, and the PhD from the same university in 2002. His PhD thesis, supervised by Professor Sebastia Sallent, addressed the issue of fairly sharing the network resources among users both in the wired and wireless Internet. Albert Banchs received for his PhD the mention of European Doctor and was awarded by COIT (the spanish official association of Telecommunication Engineers) the ONO prize to the best spanish PhD thesis on Broadband Networks.

    From April to December 1997, Albert Banchs worked in the Networks Group of the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI), Berkeley, California. His work at ICSI focused on active networks research. From January to August 1998 he was with the Telefonica I+D Labs in Madrid, Spain, where he was appointed coordinator of an 8-people development team working on the videoconference over IP project. In September 1998 he joined NEC Network Laboratories in Heidelberg, Germany. He started as a Research Staff Member and was promoted to Senior Research Staff Member in April 2001. At NEC, Albert Banchs worked on a number of projects, including multicast over ADSL, DiffServ and 802.11e standardization.

    Since October 2003, Dr. Banchs is with the University Carlos III of Madrid, where he currently holds the position of Associate Professor. From 2003 to 2008 he worked on the EU projects Daidalos I and Daidalos II, where he led the activity of QoS over heterogeneous networks. Current major effort is on the EU project CARMEN (CARrier grade MEsh Networks), where he is leading the architecture work. His research interests include performance evaluation and resource allocation in wireless networks.
