Haas received his BSc in electrical engineering in 1979 and MSc in electrical engineering in 1985. He earned his PhD from Stanford University in 1988.
Career
In 1988, he joined AT&TBell Labs in the Network Research Department. There he pursued research on wireless communications, mobility management, fast protocols, optical networks, and optical switching. From September 1994 to July 1995, Haas worked for the AT&T Wireless Center of Excellence, where he investigated various aspects of wireless and mobile networking, concentrating on TCP/IP networks. Since August 1995, he has been with the faculty of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University.[5] Since August 2013, he joined the Computer Science Department at the University of Texas at Dallas, where he is now a professor and distinguished chair.[6]
Haas is an active author in the fields of high-speed networking, wireless networks, and optical switching. He has organized several workshops, delivered numerous tutorials at major IEEE and ACM conferences, and has served as editor of several journals and magazines, including the IEEE Transactions on Networking, the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, the IEEE Communications Magazine, the Springer Wireless Networks journal, the Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks journal, the Journal of High Speed Networks, and the Wiley Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing journal. He has been a guest editor of IEEE JSAC issues on "Gigabit Networks," "Mobile Computing Networks," and "Ad-Hoc Networks." Haas is an IEEE Fellow for contributions to wireless and mobile ad-hoc networks,[7] an IET Fellow, and a Fellow of EAI.[8] He has served in the past as a Chair of the IEEE Technical Committee on Technical Committee on Personal Communications (TCPC). His interests include mobile and wireless communication and networks, biologically-inspired networks, and modeling of complex systems.
Research
Haas has published over 300 technical papers, 21 patents and participated in the editing of 25 books or book chapters.
