The reception will begin at 3:30 p.m. in 348 Avery Hall, followed by the colloquium at 4:00 p.m. in 115 Avery Hall. Dr. Mohapatra will be presenting "Security and Quality Provisioning in Wireless Networks". The presentation will cover quality provisioning for video services over wireless networks, and techniques for securing wireless communications by exploiting wireless physical layer characteristics. Quality metrics for video over wireless and recent works on bootstrapping secure association between nearby devices, generating shared secret-key from wireless channels, and detecting identity based attacks in wireless networks will also be discussed.
Dr. Mohapatra received his doctoral degree from Penn State University in 1993, and received an Outstanding Engineering Alumni Award in 2008. He also received an Outstanding Engineering Faculty Award from UC Davis. His research interests are in the areas of wireless networks, security, Internet protocols, and QoS in both wired and wireless networks, and has been funded through grants from the National Science Foundation, Department of Defense, Intel Corporation, Siemens, Panasonic Technologies, Hewlett Packard, AT&T, and EMC Corporation.
