Hassan Peyravi
Professor and
Coordinator of Graduate Studies Programs



Department of Computer Science

Dr. Peyravi has joined the faculty of Computer Science at Kent State University in 1985. From 1987 to 1989, he was a Member of Technical Staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories in New Jersey. During this period, he conducted research in network architecture, adaptive routing algorithms for ISDN network controllers, and frame relay. He has been awarded two research grants from NASA Space Communication Division to design, study and evaluate the performance of multiple access control (MAC) protocols for the Mars Regional Network. He has been awarded by CAIDA (Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis) to establish an Internet Engineering and Teaching Laboratory at Kent State University, and to study traffic management, network management and routing protocols for IP routers. He has been awarded by the Internet2 Technology Evaluation Center (ITEC) to study the QoS provisioning and traffic management for the next generation of IP networks. Dr. Peyravi has participated in the review process of numerous transactions papers and journal articles for the major computer and communication societies including IEEE, ACM, Elsevier, The Society for Modeling and Simulation International, and The International Society for Optical Engineering . He has also participated in the review process of several NSF panels and a few academic review boards. Dr. Peyravi has served as a member of the executive committee for the Internet2 Technology Evaluation Center (ITEC-Ohio), and a member of the program committees for several international conferences including International Conference on Parallel Processing (ICPP), Wireless Networks and Mobile Computing, QoS over Next Generation Data Networks, and the International Society for Optical Engineering. Dr. Peyravi's research encompasses multiple access protocols, traffic management and congestion control, optical switching and transmissions, interconnection networks, systems modeling and performance evaluation.
