Joshua is a PhD candidate at Rice University in Houston, Texas, where he also received an MS and BS in Electrical
Engineering. He is a member of the Rice Networks Group, advised by Dr. Edward Knightly, and plans to graduate
at the end of 2008.

He is currently working with the TFA-Wireless network and studying mesh network deployment issues. His other
area of interest is the study and development of multi-hop CSMA MAC protocols. He has also been involved with
the WARP Project.
