Biography:

George Kesidis received a B.A.Sc. in EE from the University of Waterloo, Canada, in 1988 and his M.S. and Ph.D. in EECS from U.C. Berkeley in 1990 and 1992, respectively. He was a professor in the E&CE Department of the University of Waterloo, Canada, from 1992 to 2000. Since 2000, he has been a professor in both the Electrical Engineering (EE) and Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) Departments of the Pennsylvania State University. In 1999, he took a sabbatical with Nortel Networks, Ottawa, and has worked with Newbridge (now Alcatel) and Mahi Networks.  He has served on the editorial board of the Computer Networks Journal, ACM TOMACS, and IEEE ComST and has served as technical program committee co-chair of IEEE INFOCOM 2007.  Currently, he is a senior member of the IEEE.
