Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Henderson is a consultant and longtime steward of the ns-3 network simulator, a project he organized about fifteen years ago and continues to develop and maintain as its principal contributor. With 19 years of experience spanning industry R&D and academia, he applies deep expertise in wireless and network simulation to clients such as CableLabs, NIST, and Cable industry projects while serving as an Affiliate Professor at the University of Washington. He has led NSF-funded development of ns-3 and used it to shape research and standards-relevant experiments on LTE/5G coexistence and public safety communications. Practically minded, his code contributions focus on robustness, performance and crash avoidance in core simulation infrastructure, reflecting a preference for engineering quality at the foundations of research tooling. Based on advanced degrees from Stanford and a PhD from UC Berkeley, he blends rigorous academic training with decades of hands-on systems engineering for both government and commercial stakeholders.
