Wireless Mobile Ah-Hoc Routing

Currently, I am employed as a PhD. student at the Maastricht University (UM), Maastricht, The Netherlands on a tUL grant. My current research focuses on bio-inspired optimization techniques. More precisely, employing bee-inspired behavior in network routing.

During 2007, I worked as a PhD. student on a 1-year research grant by the FWO. The research was done at the Computational Modeling Lab (COMO), Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Brussels, Belgium.

Currently, I am an instructor for:

• Introduction to Computer Science I
• Theoretical Computer Science
• Logic
• Datastructures & Algorithms
• Multi-Agent Systems
  • [Bio-inspired Multi-agent Systems lecture]
  • Ant trails movie clip
  • Desert ant behaviour movie clip
  • Bee dance behaviour movie clip

My research interests are located in the domain of Swarm Intelligence, Swarm Robotics, and Routing.
