Biography

Anmol Sheth joined Intel Labs Seattle in June 2007. His research interests span the broad area of network systems. His current research focuses on building novel wireless systems using multi-antenna radios, like 802.11n and phased-array antennas. In the past, Anmol has worked on diagnosing performance degradation faults in distributed wireless systems and building high performance long distance Wi-Fi networks. Anmol received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Colorado, Boulder in 2007.
