    Biography

    David Malone received B.A.(mod), M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in mathematics from Trinity College Dublin. During his time as a postgraduate, he became a member of the FreeBSD development team.  He currently a member Maynooth University's Hamilton Institute and Department of Mathematics & Statistics. His interests include mathematical modeling and measurement of WiFi, PLC and password use. He also works on IPv6 and systems administration, and is the is a co-author of O'Reilly's "IPv6 Network Administration".

    Research Interests

    I have been working on problems in wireless networks, particularly on 802.11 and 802.11e. I am also interested in other areas of networking, particularly IPv6, Internet measurement, security and time keeping.
