Biography
|
Terry Todd received the B.A.Sc, M.A.Sc and Ph.D
degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Waterloo in
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Dr. Todd is currently a Professor of
Electrical and Computer Engineering at McMaster University in
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. In 1991 Dr. Todd was on research leave in
the Distributed Systems Research Department at AT&T Bell
Laboratories in Murray Hill, NJ. He also spent 1998 as a visiting
researcher at The Olivetti and Oracle Research Laboratory (ORL) in
Cambridge, England.During 2005/2006, Dr. Todd was on research leave at
Research In Motion Inc., where he worked on vertical handover for
multi-mode cellular handsets.
At McMaster he has been the Principal Investigator on a number of
research projects in the optical and wireless networking areas. He
currently directs a group working on wireless mesh networks and
wireless VoIP. Professor Todd formerly held the NSERC/RIM/CITO
research chair on wireless networks. He is a past Associate Editor of
the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking and the IEEE Transactions on
Mobile Computing.
Professor Todd is a Professional Engineer in the province of Ontario.
