Joe Camp is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. He joined the SMU faculty in 2009 after receiving his Ph.D. in ECE from Rice University. He received an M.S. at Rice and B.S. with honors from the UT-Austin, both in ECE. His research interests are wireless systems, drone communications, measurement-driven prediction and adaptation with AI/ML, and blockchain network effects, specifically building real systems at-scale and analyzing the performance within representative environments. His research team has performed over 250 million in-field wireless measurements around the world via Android deployment and local characterization via campus buses, vehicles, and buildings. He was the Chief Network Architect for the Technology For All (TFA) Network, a mesh deployment in Houston, TX which serves 4,000 users in an under-resourced community. He received the Ralph Budd Award for the best engineering thesis at Rice University (2010), the National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2012), the Golden Mustang Teaching Award (2014), and the Gerald J. Ford Research Fellowship (2021).
