Henry Houh
Henry is a graduate student at the MIT Laboratory for Computer
Science in the Telemedia, Networks and Systems group.
Henry is currently involved in working on his doctoral research. His
interests span the fields of computer architecture, high speed
networks, distributed multimedia systems, and host interface design.
Henry received a B.S. degree in electrical engineering in June 1989, a
B.S. degree in physics in February 1990, and an M.S. degree in
electrical engineering in February 1991, all from MIT.
Henry also spent a few years at Bell Laboratories in Holmdel, NJ,
working in optical computing, where he did research on a Sagnac optical switch.
In his copious spare time, Henry enjoys theater, music, cooking,
hanging out, reading, and talking news, business, events and politics.
Current Research
Henry is currently involved in studying systems issues of desk-area
ATM networks for distributed multimedia environments. Within this
area are host interface issues for high-speed real-time traffic,
protocols for access to network devices, the boundary of trust within
a small network, and seamless interfacing to LANs and WANs.
Henry's Area exam, "Wavelength Division vs. Code
Division Access Methods for Optical Networks" was completed May
20, 1994.
Henry's thesis proposal, titled "Design of a
Desk-Area Network for Distributed Multimedia Applications," is in
progress.
