Personal Information

Biography

Dr. Gerla was born in Milan, Italy. He received a graduate degree in engineering from the Politecnico di Milano, in 1966, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in engineering from UCLA in 1970 and 1973, respectively. From 1973 to 1976, Dr. Gerla was a manager in Network Analysis Corporation, Glen Cove, NY, where he was involved in several computer network design projects for both government and industry, including performance analysis and topological updating of the ARPANET under a contract from DoD. From 1976 to 1977, he was with Tran Telecommunication, Los Angeles, CA, where he participated in the development of an integrated packet and circuit network. Since 1977, he has been on the Faculty of the Computer Science Department of UCLA. His research interests include the design, performance evaluation, and control of distributed computer communication systems and networks. His current research projects cover the following areas: design and performance evaluation of protocols and control schemes for Ad Hoc wireless networks; routing, congestion control and bandwidth allocation in wide area networks, and; traffic measurements and characterization.
