Rate My Professor David Johnson

Johnson's research focuses on network protocols, distributed systems, and operating systems, particularly protocols for wireless and mobile networking, including mobile ad hoc networking, sensor networking, and mesh networking in areas such as routing, security, and medium access control. He was a primary designer of the IETF Mobile IP protocol standards for both IPv4 and IPv6, and his group's Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol for wireless ad hoc networks was published by the IETF as an experimental protocol (RFC 4728, 2007). Notable publications include the chapter 'DSR: The Dynamic Source Routing Protocol for Multi-Hop Wireless Ad Hoc Networks' in Ad Hoc Networking (2001), 'Mobility Support in IPv6' (RFC 3775, 2004), and editorship of Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems: 4th IEEE International Conference, DCOSS 2008 (2008). He has served as Chair of ACM SIGMOBILE (2005-2009), Treasurer (1997-2005), and member of the ACM SIG Governing Board Executive Committee (2008-2010). Johnson was General Chair for conferences including MobiCom 2003, IEEE MASS 2012, and COMSNETS 2011, and editor for journals such as Ad Hoc Networks, IEEE Pervasive Computing, and IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking. His awards include the NSF CAREER Award (1995), ACM SIGMOBILE Distinguished Service Award (2001), and MobiHoc 2011 Best Paper Award.
