Javed I. Khan

Javed I. Khan is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Computer Science at Kent State University. He leads cutting-edge research in networking, cyber infrastructure, and perceptual systems, with funding from DARPA, NSF, NASA, AFRL, and the World Bank. He is the director of the Media Communications and Networking Research Laboratory (MEDIANET) and actively contributes to international education networks.

• Ph.D., University of Hawaii at Manoa
• B.Sc., Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET)

His research spans active and programmable networking, peer-to-peer systems, semantic design, multimedia communication, and medical imaging. He has pioneered work in holographic associative memory and complex system visualization. His interdisciplinary work integrates computer science with human-centered design and global development.

The recent publications reflect a strong trend in decentralized systems, next-generation architectures, and intelligent networking. Themes include P2P computing, dynamic routing, content-based search, and perceptual engineering, indicating a forward-looking research vision in network evolution and human-machine symbiosis.

• Fulbright Senior Specialist on High Performance Education Networking
• Open Grants Fellow, East West Center, Hawaii

Dr. Khan has advised national and international bodies including the World Bank on research and education networks (RENs) for sustainable development. His lab has secured grants from DARPA, NSF, NASA, and AFRL, supporting innovative projects in space communication, multisensory fusion, and digital library systems.

He leads the MEDIANET Lab, which houses the Internet Teaching Lab (ITL) and Student Research Portal. The lab fosters collaboration through the MEDIANET Collaboration Server and supports projects in active networking, P2P computing, and perceptual media.
