Brief Biography

Dr. Aaron Striegel is currently an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. He received his Ph.D. in December 2002 in Computer Engineering at Iowa State University under the direction of Dr. G. Manimaran. His research interests include networking (bandwidth conservation, QoS), computer security, grid computing, and real-time systems. During his tenure as a student at Iowa State, he worked for various companies in research and development that included Sun Microsystems, Architecture Technology Corporation, and Emerson Process. He has received research and equipment funding from NSF, DARPA, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett Packard, Architecture Technology Corporation, and Intel.

Dr. Striegel was the recipient of an NSF CAREER award in 2004.
