Designed a distributed signalling protocol for broadband grid computing networks using advance resource reservation flow requests (M.E.Sc.).Used meta-heuristics (e.g., simulated annealing) and optimization techniques (e.g., integer linear programming) to solve the following centrally controlled grid computing problem: develop a schedule that minimizes the average start time of advance resource reservation flow requests (M.E.Sc.).Designed a new scheduling algorithm for concurrent multipath transfer (i.e., a transport layer protocol where a sender/receiver pair are separated by multiple independent network paths of varying performance capabilities) (Ph.D.).Developed two mathematical models for approximating throughput while using concurrent multipath transfer (CMT) over a given network topology. Applied these models to an optimization problem that maximized throughput by configuring congestion window limits for the corresponding paths of a CMT system (Ph.D.).
