Rate My Professor Ellen Zegura

Zegura's research in computer networking covers wide-area Internet services, mobile wireless networking for disruption-tolerant environments, and computing for social good. She co-founded the College's Computing for Good initiative in 2008 and directs the Computing & Society Lab, partnering with communities including Westside Atlanta residents, Native Americans in Southern California, and the Carter Center in Liberia. Her pioneering GT-ITM Internet topology modeling tools have garnered over 2400 citations, while message ferrying approaches for sparse mobile ad hoc networks exceed 1600 citations. Key publications include "How to Model an Internetwork" (INFOCOM 1996), "A Message Ferrying Approach for Data Delivery in Sparse Mobile Ad Hoc Networks" (MobiHoc 2004), and "The Road to SDN: An Intellectual History of Programmable Networks" (SIGCOMM CCR 2014). Recent works explore QoE in video conferencing (MMSys 2024), ethics in computing education (CHI 2023, SIGCSE 2023), and community data action (COMPASS 2022). An IEEE Fellow and ACM Fellow, she served on the NSF CISE Advisory Committee (2005-2009), chaired the Computing Research Association Board (2018), and joined its Executive Board in 2014, advancing ethical and societal computing.
