Farzad Safaei graduated from the University of Western Australia with the degree of Bachelor of Engineering and obtained his PhD in Telecommunications Engineering from Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. He has more than 15 years of experience in conducting and managing advanced research in the field of data communications and networks. Currently, he is the Professor of Telecommunications Engineering and Director of Centre for Emerging Networks and Applications at the University of Wollongong. Professor Safaei is also the Program Manager of Smart Networks and Intelligent Environment program at the Smart Internet Technology Cooperative Research Centre. Before joining the University of Wollongong, he was the Manager of Internetworking Architecture and Services Section in Telstra Research Laboratories. His primary research interest is to design large-scale telecommunication networks that can adapt autonomously to dynamic characteristics of applications, cost, customer demand, or any other critical influence from outside Current Research Students: • Xinbo Jiang : A Feasibility Study of Using Peer-to-Peer Architecture to Support Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games • Abhinay Mukunthan : Information Dissamination in Vehicluar Ad-Hoc Networks • Thanh Dong Nguyen : Different Approaches to Facilitate Graphics Rendering on Thin Clients Based on Cloud Computing • Huda Mubarak Al Amri : Enhancing The Scalability of Heterogenrous Manet Routing Protocols • Phuc Ngoc Le : Ultra-Wideband Communication Systems. • Craig Cooper : Study of Vehicular Adhoc Networks • Miftadi Sudjai : Ultra Widebands Communications Systems for WBAN • Sen Zhang : Software-defined and Cloud-Based Wireless Network. • Duc Toan Nguyen : Implementation of software-defined radio in OFDM-based systems • Hua Zhou : Inter-stream Synchronization for Large Scale Immersive Virtual Video Conference • Minyi Xie : Comparison between hierarchical coding and multiple description coding • Pedram Pourashraf : Distributed area of interest management in dynamic immersive multimedia systems (IMS) for minimising video transmission bandwidth. • Parastoo Golmohammadi : Network Connectivity in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks • Zixuan Lin : Cooperative communication for OFDM-based systems • Linh Nguyen : OFDM • Hooman Shidanshidi : Immersive Multimedia
