The Ohio State University, where he holds the Ohio Eminent Scholar
Chaired Professorship of Networking and Communications.
His research interests span the areas of wireless and
wireline communication networks. He is especially
interested in fundamental problems in the design, control,

of these networks. His research is funded by
various companies such as Motorola, Intel, Hewlett Packard, Nortel,
AT&T, BAE systems, and L. G. Electronics; and
government agencies such as the National Science
Foundation (NSF), Army Research Office (ARO), Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency (DARPA), Indiana Dept. of Transportation, and the
Indiana 21st Century fund.
Dr. Shroff is a past editor of IEEE/ACM Trans. on Networking and
the IEEE Communications Letters. He is currently an editor

the technical and executive committees of several major
conferences and workshops. He was the technical program
co-chair of IEEE INFOCOM'03, the premier conference in
communication networking, the technical program co-chair
of ACM Mobihoc 2008, the General co-chair of WICON'08, and
