Networks at UMASS

Welcome to the Networks metapage at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. UMass Amherst has long had a world- class group in the area of computer networking. After a significant growth in our facutly in recent years, our group now consists of a dozen networking faculty across the Computer Science and the ECE departments. Despite our size, we are a close-knit, friendly, and highly collaborative research group. It is common for our students to be co-advised by multiple faculty and most faculty have active collorations with others in our group. This page provides links to faculty pages, research groups and active projects.
