About Me ...

Andras Varga's Photo

I received my M.Sc. in electrical engineering and computer systems from the Technical University of Budapest in 1994. Between 1994 and 1998 I pursued PhD studies at the same university, but went to the industry before completing the PhD. Between 2003 and 2005, I spent altogether more than a year at CTIE, Monash University, Melbourne as a visiting research fellow, where I was performing research on parallel simulation of large telecommunication networks, and working towards the PhD degree. My field of interest is the simulation of telecommunication networks, and I am the architect and main developer of the widely used OMNeT++ network simulation software. Currently I work at OpenSim Ltd. which I founded for commercializing OMNeT++.
