"My interests are mainly in two areas: modelling and analysis of mammalian inter and intracellular communications, and information transfer in the future Internet"
Professor John Daigle from the University of Mississippi in the US talks about the research behind his Letter 'Dimensioning of dual leaky bucket parameters for regulating voice sources' on page 756.
What are your main research interests?
My interests are mainly in two areas: modelling and analysis of mammalian inter and intracellular communications, and information transfer in the future Internet. In the former area we are teamed with biologists and medical professionals, and our objectives are in the direction of characterising the response of cells to external stimuli. In the latter area, we are interested in developing protocols that provide reliable and efficient data delivery in a multi-source, multidestination setting over channels with heterogeneous capacities, delay and loss characteristics. We are specifically interested in applications of fountain codes and their recent implementations, including Luby transform and raptor codes.
