Michael R. Souryal, D.Sc.

Michael Souryal is with the Information Technology Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Gaithersburg, MD. He received his D.Sc. in electrical engineering from The George Washington University (2003), M.S. in information networking from Carnegie Mellon University (1991), and B.S. in electrical engineering from Cornell University (1990). He first came to NIST as an NRC Postdoctoral Research Associate in 2004. From 1991 to 1999, he was with Telcordia Technologies (formerly Bellcore), Red Bank, NJ, where he was involved in new service development for public network providers. His research interests are in communication theory, cooperative relaying, and public safety communications.
