معرفی
Anna Brunström is a Full Professor and Head of the Distributed Intelligent Systems and Communications Research Group (DISCO) at Karlstad University's Department of Computer Science. She holds a part-time role as a Researcher at the University of Malaga's Institute of Software Engineering and Technologies (ITIS). Her research focuses on computer networking, Internet architectures, low latency communication, and 5G/6G mobile systems. She leads the nationally funded DRIVE initiative and collaborates on European projects like 6G-PATH. She actively contributes to IETF standardization, notably as a former rmcat WG chair. Her work spans over 200 publications, emphasizing network measurement, latency optimization, and multipath protocols.
Education: Ph.D. (1996) and M.Sc. (1993) from College of William & Mary, B.Sc. (1991) from Pepperdine University.
Research Interests: Distributed systems, IoT networking (NB-IoT), satellite communication (Starlink), machine learning for positioning, and transport protocols (QUIC, MPTCP). Recent work includes latency-aware scheduling, 5G/6G performance analysis, and edge computing frameworks.
Publications highlight trends in: 1) Satellite network throughput modeling, 2) 5G/6G architecture validation, 3) Machine learning applications for positioning and network analysis, 4) Cross-layer optimization of latency-critical services. Collaborations with industry and academia drive applied research in smart grids, healthcare, and automotive communication.
Labs/Teams: DISCO group at Karlstad University, leading the DRIVE research profile and 6G-PATH consortium involvement.
