Colin Perkins
Colin Perkins is a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in the School of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow. His research focusses on transport protocols for real-time and interactive multimedia, and on network protocol design, implementation, and specification. He’s been a participant in the IETF and IRTF since 1996, working primarily in the transport area where he co-chairs the RMCAT working group and is a past chair of the AVT and MMUSIC working groups, and in related IRTF research groups. He proposed and co-chaired the first Applied Networking Research Workshop (ANRW), and has been a long-term participant in the Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) awarding committee. He received his BEng in Electronic Engineering in 1992, and PhD in 1996, both from the Department of Electronics at the University of York.
