David Wetherall is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington and Strategic Advisor and former Director of nearby Intel Labs Seattle. He joined Intel in 2006 to lead the Seattle lab in research on computing systems woven into the fabric of everyday life. Wetherall joined the University of Washington faculty in 1999 after receiving his Ph.D, E.E. and S.M. in computer science from MIT; he received his B.E. in electrical engineering from the University of Western Australia in 1989. His research interests are focused on network systems, especially wireless networks and mobile devices, network measurement, and the design of Internet protocols. His thesis research pioneered active networks, an architecture in which new network services can be introduced rapidly using mobile code, and for which he received the SIGCOMM Test-of-Time award in 2007. He was been recognized with an NSF CAREER award in 2002 and became a Sloan Fellow in 2004.
