Frank Kelly (mathematician)
Francis Patrick "Frank" Kelly CBE (born December 28, 1950 ) is a British stochastic .
Education and career
Kelly received her PhD in 1976 from the University of Cambridge with Peter Whittle ( The Equilibrium Behavior of Stochastic Models of Interaction and Flow ). In 1976 he became a Fellow of Christ's College and was a tutor there. He is Professor of Mathematics of Systems at Cambridge and was Director of the Statistical Laboratory there. In 2006 he became a Masters at Christ's College.
In 2001/02 he was visiting professor at Stanford University . He is one of the trustees of RAND Europe . From 2010 to 2013 he chaired the UK Council for the Mathematical Sciences .
research
He deals with random processes, optimization, business mathematics and large networks in communication and transport, including dynamic routing and resource allocation in communication networks such as the Internet. In the 1980s, together with colleagues from Cambridge and the research laboratories of British Telecom, he developed the dynamic routing system implemented in British digital telephone networks. From 2003 to 2006 he was Senior Scientific Advisor to the UK Transportation Department. His work found its way into the design of Internet protocols and the design of telecommunications networks, for example in cloud computing and the TCP draft of Apple's iOS 7 from 2013.
