Short bio

CV


I am Naeem Khademi, PhD student in the Networks and Distributed Systems group (ND) at the Department of informatics, University of Oslo, Norway, where I am advised by Prof. Michael Welzl.


I was born in Shiraz, Iran, in 1983, where I studied until High School. I graduated from Kish University (Iran) with a bachelor degree in Computer Software Engineering in September 2006. From December 2007 to February 2010 I studied in Malaysia and received my Master degree in Computer Networks from University Putra Malaysia . In August 2010 I joined the ND group and started my research on "AP buffer sizing for 802.11 WLANs".


My research interests are in performance analysis, evaluation and optimization of 802.11 networks, mainly by focusing on cross-layer interactions in multi-rate 802.11 WLANs between the PHY, MAC and transport layers.


You may want to have a look at my publication list or check my toolb ox to know more in details about my research tools and implementations. Check my availability in schedule and contact me through this link.


Available Projects: Check these three pages if you are interested to pursue your Master project under my guidance and supervisory of Prof. Michael Welzl:

  1. Implementation of 802.11 rate-adaptation mechanisms in ns-2
  2. 802.11n for ns-2


Teachings: I am the course manager of INF3190 (Data Communications) for Spring 2012 semester in IFI/UiO. Find the course time-plan here (in Norwegian).


Advising (Master Students): 

  1. Tor Martin Slåen: A tool for determining the rate-adaptation mechanism of 802.11 cards
  2. Asgeir Mortensen: Adaptive selection of TCP congestion control mechanisms


802.11 Wireless Testbed: We are in process of developing and maintaining a 802.11 WLAN testbed located in the "Network Lab" of Networks and Distributed Systems Group at IFI. It consists a few number of Dell Optiplex G520 desktop PCs (19 nodes) equipped with wireless NICs with Atheros and Broadcom chipsets and Madwifi / b43 drivers respectively. This work-in-progress Wiki page provides some details about our testbed.
