EECS Chair & Distinguished Professor Victor Frost has contributed to the design and analysis of technology that supports the Internet and other vital communication networks. He has served as principal or co-investigator on more than 80 projects.
EECS researchers advance communication networks and the underlying physical transmission of information. Their varied expertise enables them to develop architecture, algorithms, protocols, and other advanced networking concepts with an emphasis on the lower to middle layers of the protocol stack. EECS research in this area includes the development of resilient and survivable networks for the future Internet.
