Mohammad Hossein Manshaei received his B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering and his M.Sc. degree in Communication Engineering from the Isfahan University of Technology (IUT), Iran, in 1997 and 2000, respectively. During his M.Sc. thesis, he worked on performance evaluation of the virtual source and virtual destination (VS/VD) algorithms for available bit rate (ABR) service in ATM networks.

In July 2000, he joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in IUT as a research assistant, under supervision of Dr. Hossein Saidi. During this period he participated in the design, implementation (by FPGA using Verilog), and management of the projects about multi protocol label switching (MPLS) implementation for ATM switches and ATM switch interface (i.e., network processor subsystem). In addition, he has been working as a teaching assistant at IUT for several graduate and undergraduate courses.

In January 2002, he moved to France where he started French pre-doctoral program (i.e., DEA in networks and distributed systems) at the University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis (UNSA) and French national institute for research in computer science and control (INRIA). His DEA thesis was about potential profits of software radio in wireless LAN.

After graduation with honor in June 2002, he obtained a French government graduate fellowship (i.e., Allocation de Recherche) to start his PhD thesis at INRIA and UNSA in October 2002. He pursued his Ph.D. in computer science (i.e., computer networks and distributed systems) in the Planete group at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis under supervision of Dr. Thierry Turletti and he obtained his Ph.D. degree in December 2005.

His current research interests are in the area of wireless/mobile networks with emphasis on adaptive communication protocols, cross layer algorithms in IEEE 802.11 standard, ad hoc networks, security, and sensor networks. He has reviewed several articles for WiOpt, MSWiM, Globecom, Packet Video, WCNC, WoWMoM conferences, IEEE Transaction on Wireless Communications, EURASIP JWCN, MC2R, and ACM/Kluwer MONET journals.
