Biography
Admela Jukan is Chair Professor of Communication Networks in Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the Technische Universität Carolo-Wilhelmina zu Braunschweig (Brunswick) in Germany. Prior to coming to Brunswick, she was research faculty at the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS), University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC) and Georgia Tech (GaTech). In 1999 and 2000, she was a visiting scientist at Bell Labs, Holmdel, NJ. From 2002-2004, she served as Program Director in Computer and Networks System Research at the National Science Foundation (NSF) in Arlington, VA. During her NSF tenure she initiated two research community activities: Fundamental Research in Networking and Residential Broadband Revisited: Research Challenges in Residential Networks, Broadband Access, and Applications.
She received the M.Sc. degree in Information Technologies from the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, and the Ph.D. degree (cum laude) in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Technische Universität Wien, in Vienna, Austria. She received her B.Sc. (Dipl. -Ing.) degree from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER), in Zagreb, Croatia. Dr. Jukan has chaired and co-chaired several international conferences, including IFIP ONDM, IEEE ANTS, IEEE ICC and IEEE GLOBECOM. She serves as Associate Technical Editor for IEEE Communications Magazine and IEEE Network. She is a co-Editor in Chief of the Elsevier Journal on Optical Switching and Networking. She is an elected Vice Chair of the IEEE Optical Network Technical Committee ONTC (Chair in 2014).
Research
Prof. Jukan's research group is active in research areas related to theory and practice of signaling, control and management in high-speed optical networks, next generation network control and signaling platforms, as well as performance evaluation. Our interests are also in collaborating within multidisciplinary research teams in engineering and computer science, as well as in applying high-bandwidth communications and optical networking technologies in other disciplines. Current projects:
- TEFIS - Experimenting with Quagga Open API and Cross-layer Coordinated Networks (EU - New Experiments Program) - starting in 2012
- ONE - Towards Automated Interactions between the Internet and the Carrier-Grade Management Ecosystems (EU STREP), 2010-2013.
- GEYSERS - Generalized Architecture for Dynamic Infrastructure Services (EU IP Project), 2010-2013.
- Open Source PCE, 2011-2012 (TUBS funding).

Information for Visitors
Arriving from Frankfurt and Munich (international). Lufthansa has non-stop flights to Frankfurt and Munich from most of the US and Asian cities. Once you are at the Frankfurt airport, you can take the airport train to the Frankfurt Main Station (Hauptbahnhof), and from there a non-stop train connection to Braunschweig (duration about 3 hours). Alternatively, it is possible to fly to take a connecting flight to Hannover (HAJ), see below.
Arriving from Hannover International Airport (around 60 km, 37 miles). If you decide to take a connecting flight, the easiest way is to take the airport train to the Main Station (Hauptbahnhof) in Hannover, and connect to train to Braunschweig (every 30 mins). The regular fair is around 25 Euro. Alternatively, the University has a special deal with a door-to-door shuttle company, which may be ordered in advance (fare approx. 30 Euro for a shared service, 60 Euro limo). The taxi ride can be as high as 100 Euro (not recommended). The shuttle/taxi providers are easy to find at the arrival gates. Only some of them speak English.
Our group is located at the 11th floor of the ECE building, on the north section of the University campus in the Hans-Sommer-Strasse 66, Brunswick (Braunschweig). See also our detailed description of the directions to IDA.
