Joel Mambretti
Joel Mambretti is Director of the International Center for Advanced Internet Research at Northwestern University, which is focused on developing digital communications for the 21st Century. The Center, which was created in partnership with a number of major high tech corporations (www.icair.org), designs and implements large scale infrastructure and applications (metro, regional, national, and global). He is also Director of the Metropolitan Research and Education Network (MREN, http://www.mren.org), an advanced high-performance network interlinking organizations in seven upper-midwest states. MREN, which designed and developed the world’s first GigaPOP. With its research partners, iCAIR has established several major testbeds, such as OMNInet, to develop new architecture and technology for dynamically provisioned communication services and networks, including those based on lightpath switching. iCAIR has partnered with the Electronic Visualization Lab of the Universityof Illinois at Chicago (UIC) to create StarLight (www.startap.net/starlight) an advanced global communications exchange based on leading-edge optical technologies in Chicago. He is one of the PIs of the national TeraFlow Network, which is supporting, in partnership with the National Center for Data Mining at UIC, a national Open Cloud testbed, funded by the National Science Foundation. He is a Co-Director of the Open Cloud Consortium, a member of the executive committee of I-WIRE (a state-wide optical research network in the Illinois), a founding member of the Global Integrated Lambda Facility, a world wide distributed optical communications infrastructure, a member of Chicago’s Council of Technology Advisors (MCTA), and Co-Chair of the Illinois Broadband Deployment Council’s Committee on Infrastructure. He has been a member of numerous committees, projects, and initiatives directed at shaping national, state, local and international communications policy related to large-scale communications infrastructure. He has served on the advisory boards of major technology corporations, and he is a frequent speaker at national and international communications technology forums. He has published multiple articles in peer-reviewed scholarly journals. Among his publications are two co-authored books published by Wiley, “Next Generation Internet,” and “Grid Networks: Enabling Grids with Advanced Communication Technology.”
