I joined UCC as a full professor in computer science in 1999. I served as Head of School for 3 years from 2019-2021, having previously been Head of Department for 8 years during 2015-2018 and 2000-2004. Prior to moving to Cork in 1999, I was a member of research staff at AT&T Labs in Florham Park (NJ, USA) and at Bell Labs in Murray Hill (NJ, USA). At Cork I lead the Mobile & Internet Systems Lab (MISL), a research group focused on mobile and multimedia networking and funded by a range of Irish and international agencies and companies. I am a Science Foundation Ireland Principal Investigator and have published over 200 peer-reviewed papers, serving on several ACM/IEEE journal editorial boards. I hold a Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory and am a member of Christ's College. My Ph.D. supervisor was the esteemed Prof. Roger Needham; consequently I can trace my academic (doctoral) heritage back to computing pioneer Prof. Maurice Wilkes and going back further to physics Nobel laureates Ernest Rutherford and JJ Thomson! In 2005 I was elected as a Fellow of the British Computer Society, and in 2022 as a Fellow of the Irish Academy of Engineering. With members of my research group and colleagues I am active in technology transfer activities, mainly through collaboration with Irish companies and licencing of research outputs. I have experience in performing technical due diligence and am available to advise on patent infringement and as an expert witness in the areas of telecoms, mobile and wireless networks, and the Internet of Things (IoT). I have specialist expertise on the topic of adaptive video streaming, including its history and development. I have 9 patents granted. I have been a visiting professor at several institutions. In 2005 I was with Prof. Sanjay Jha and his team at the University of New South Wales for 12 months. In 2021/22 I divided a sabbatical year, hosted firstly by Pr
