Dr. Andrews's Web site
Dr. Jeffrey G. Andrews earned his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 2002 and joined the College of Engineering faculty that same year. Dr. Andrews is associate director of the Wireless Networking and Communications Group.
Andrews researches technologies to improve the quality and speed of wireless communication networks used for the Internet and cellular phones. He is developing new technologies to increase the capacity of wireless networks, for example by canceling and managing interference and by using multiple transmit and receive antennas to allow networks to transmit parallel data streams without additional bandwidth. Andrews is a lead researcher and author on an emerging technology called WiMAX/802.16 broadband wireless networks, which will likely supply developing countries with Internet access. He is author of the forthcoming Prentice-Hall book Understanding WiMAX: Fundamentals of Broadband Wireless Networks.
