Dr. SunHee Yoon

Research Staff, Stanford University.

About

I have designed distributed algorithms for data management and routing in wireless or sensor networks. My research naturally led to interdisciplinary approach across a broad range of topics in networks, databases, and artificial intelligence. Currently my research focuses on wireless network simulation, and "cross-layer approach" in designing wireless network protocols, their evaluation methodology, and distributed applications running over them.
