I am a Professor of Computer Science with a joint appointment in Electrical Engineering at UCLA. I hold the Jon Postel Chair in Computer Networks, and I am Founding Director of the NSF-funded Center for Embedded Networked Sensing (CENS). Estrin received her Ph.D. (1985) in Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and her B.S. (1980) from U.C. Berkeley. Before joining UCLA I was a member of the University of Southern California, Computer Science Department. My research focused on the design of network and routing protocols for very large, global, networks, such as: scalable multicast routing and transport protocols, self-configuring protocol mechanisms for scalability and robustness, and tools and methods for designing and studying large scale networks.
