John Murphy's Web Home Page

My main research is in the Performance Engineering Laboratory (PEL), at University College Dublin (now known as UCD Dublin), in the new School of Computer Science and Informatics (CSI), where I also maintain a web page. I spent many years (1991 to 2003) at Dublin City University (DCU) in Electronic Engineering (EE) . Some of the other people that I work with in the telecoms area are Hamid Nafaa, Sean Murphy, Cristina Hava, Liam Murphy, Gabriel Muntean, Jennifer McManis and Liam Barry.
