Edward Knightly is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rice University. He received his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in EECS in 1996, received the National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 1997, and has been a Sloan Fellow since 2001.

Professor Knightly's research interests are in the areas of mobile and wireless networks and high-performance and denial-of-service resilient protocol design. He leads the Rice Networks Group. The group's current projects include deployment, operation, and management of a large-scale urban mesh network in a Houston under-resourced community. This network, TFA Wireless, is serving over 4,000 users in several square kilometers. The group is also developing a clean-slate-design hardware platform for high-performance multi-hop wireless. The TAPs/WARP platform is now operational, and ongoing research includes cross-layer design and implementation of medium access protocols.
