ANTHONY ACAMPORA
University of California (San Diego)
Anthony Acampora is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, San Diego, and Director of UCSD's Center for Wireless Communications, where he is involved in wireless access research and education programs focused on antennas and progagation, circuits, communication theory, telecommunication networks, and multimedia applications. All of the work at the center involves strong participation and support from the wireless communications industry.
Prior to joining the faculty at UCSD in 1995, he was Professor of Electrical Engineering and Director of the Center for Telecommunications Research at Columbia University. He joined the faculty at Columbia in 1988 following a 20-year career at AT&T Bell Laboratories, most of which was spent in basic research where his interests included radio and satellite communications, local and metropolitan area networks, packet switching, wireless access systems, and lightwave networks. His most recent position at Bell Labs was Director of the Transmission Technology Laboratory where he was responsible for a wide range of projects, including broadband networks, image communications, and digital signal processing.
At Columbia, he was involved in research and education programs concerning broadband networks, wireless access networks, network management, optical networks and multimedia applications. Many of these projects enjoyed active industrial participation and involved cross-disciplinary research teams to develop new system approaches, analytical methodologies, VLSI circuitry, lightwave devices, and telecommunications software.
He received his Ph.D in Electrical Engineering from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn and is a Fellow of the IEEE and a former member of the IEEE Communication Society Board of Governors. Professor Acampora has published over 150 papers, holds 30 patents, and has authored a recently completed textbook entitled "An Introduction to Broadband Networks: MANs, ATM, B-ISDN, Self-Routing Switches, Optical Networks, and Network Control for Voice, Data, Image, and HDTV Telecommunications." He sits on numerous telecommunications advisory committees and frequently serves as a consultant to government and industry.
