Bio:

Habib M. Ammari is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science in the Department of Computer Science at Hofstra University. He received the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) in May 2008 and the M.S. degree in Computer Science from Southern Methodist University in December 2004. He also received the Doctorat de Specialite and the Diploma of Engineering degrees in Computer Science from the Faculty of Sciences of Tunis, Tunisia, in 1996 and 1992, respectively.

His main research interests lie in the areas of wireless sensor and mobile ad hoc networking, and multihop mobile wireless Internet architectures and protocols. In particular, he is interested in coverage, connectivity, energy-efficient data routing and information dissemination, fault tolerance, and security in wireless sensor networks, and the interconnection between wireless sensor networks, mobile ad hoc networks, and the global IP Internet. He received the Computer Science and Engineering Outstanding PhD Student Award from UTA in 2008. He was a recipient of the TPC Best Paper Award from EWSN ’08 and the Best Contribution Paper Award from IEEE PerCom ’08—Google PhD forum. He was also an ACM Student Research Competition (ACM SRC) nominee at ACM MobiCom ’05. He was selected for inclusion in the 2010 edition of Who’s Who in America, the 2008-2009 Honors Edition of Madison Who’s Who Among Executives and Professionals, and the 2006 edition of Who’s Who in America .

He serves as a member in the Editorial Boards of the International Journal of Mobile Communications and the International Journal on Advances in Networks and Services. He has also served as the Program Co-Chair for IQ2S '09. He is also on the Program Committee for several conferences, symposia, and workshops, including IEEE LCN’09, IEEE ICCCN WASN’09, IEEE ICC AHSN’09, SENSORCOMM’09, IEEE EXPONWIRELESS'09, ADHOCNETS’09, IEEE ICDCS WWASN’09, IEEE ICDCS SAHNS’09, IEEE ICDCS WiMAN’09, IWCMC WSN’09, IEEE ICCCN SN’09, TridentCom PCSI’09, ICWMC’09, MESH’09, IEEE ICAC MUCS’09, and EWSN’09. He has served as the Publicity Chair for IEEE ICDCS SAHNS’09, IEEE ICDCS WiMAN’09, IEEE ICCCN SN’09, IWCMC WSN’09, ICWMC’09, SENSORCOMM’09, and MESH’09. He has also served as a reviewer for several international journals (IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, Wireless Networks, Computer Networks, Ad Hoc & Sensor Wireless Networks, International Journal of Sensor Networks, Computer Communications, Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, Information Sciences, International Journal of Computer and Applications, and Data and Knowledge Engineering Journal) and conferences and symposia (ACM MobiCom, IEEE Infocom, IEEE ICDCS, IEEE SECON, IEEE MASS, IEEE GlobeCom, IEEE ICC, HiPC, ACM MSWiM, DISC, IEEE VTC, and IEEE ISCC). He is a member of the ACM and IEEE.
