Dharma P. Agrawal, Professor of computer science at the University of Cincinnati, recently received the IEEE Computer Society Harry H. Goode Memorial Award.

Agrawal has served as a consultant to the General Dynamics Land Systems Division, Battelle, and the US Army. He has held visiting appointments at AIRMICS and the AT&T Advanced Communications Laboratory. His research interests include resource allocation and security in mesh networks, efficient query processing and security in sensor networks, and heterogeneous wireless networks.

Agrawal's citation reads, "For outstanding contributions and leadership in wireless and mobile systems, including ad-hoc, sensor, and mesh networks."
 
The Goode Award recognizes achievements in the information processing field that are considered either a single contribution of theory, design, or technique of outstanding significance, or the accumulation of important contributions on theory or practice over an extended period, the total of which represent an outstanding contribution. Winners receive a bronze medal and a $2,000 honorarium.
