Since Spring 2001, Kumar has been with CSE@UTA. He is also an adjunct professor at the Curtin University of Technology, Perth Australia. His current research interests are in pervasive computing, opportunistic networks and computing, wireless networks and mobility, mobile agents and distributed computing. He initiated pervasive computing research activities at CSE@UTA in 2001 and directs the Pervasive and Invisible Computing (PICO) lab. He is the lead PI in two recently funded NSF awards: Collaborative virtual observation in dynamic, heterogeneous environments; and Distributed Opportunistic Computing. He is a Co-PI in a recently funded project by the AFRL on Middleware for Dynamic Distributed Repositories and the NSF funded ARCADIA project. He was the lead PI in the NSF funded PICO project on the development of middleware services for pervasive computing. Current research work includes the application of pervasive computing into such areas as telemedicine, manufacturing and security. Kumar has supervised 11 doctoral dissertations and 25 Master’s theses in the above areas. He has published over 150 refereed articles in journals and conference proceedings. In Spring 2008, he visited the Institute for Informatics and Telematics (IIT) National Research Council (CNR)Pisa, Italy and the National University of Singapore. He co-founded the IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing (PerCom) and the Elsevier's Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal. He served as the Program Chair, PerCom 2003 and the General Chair, PerCom 2005, and he is currently the Chair of the PerCom Steering Committee. Mohan is a senior member of the IEEE.
Mohan obtained his Ph.D and MTech degrees from the Indian Institute of Science in 1992 and 1985 respectively and the BE degree from the Bangalore University in 1982. During 1992-2000, he served as a faculty at the School of Computer Science, Curtin University of Technology, Perth, Australia. At Curtin University he lead research activities in the areas of Parallel Computing and Mobile Computing, developed laboratories and supervised 6 PhD and 5 MS Theses. Along with his students, he developed algorithms for active-networks based routing and multicasting in mobile environments and prefetching and caching in mobile and distributed systems. He received the Vice-Chancellor's Excellence Award in 1999. At the Indian Institute of Science during 1986-92, he served as a Scientific Officer and was responsible for the training of more than 100 University Professors and Industrial Engineers in the areas of microprocessors, their applications and associated developmental tools. Also, during this time he built 2 parallel computers and developed the Extended Hypercube architecture for his doctoral work for which he received the Best Thesis award for the year 1991-92.
