Rolf Stadler is a professor at the School of Electrical Engineering with the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden, since 2001, where he leads the network management group. He received an M.Sc. degree in mathematics in 1984 and a Ph.D. in computer science in 1990 from the University of Zurich, Switzerland. In 1991 he was a post-doctoral researcher at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory. 1992-1994 he was a visiting scholar at the Center for Telecommunications Research at Columbia University, which he joined in 1994 as a research scientist. 1998-1999 he was a visiting professor at ETH Zurich. Over the last 10 years, Dr. Stadler has been instrumental in the network management research community and has been program co-chair for premier IEEE conferences in the field, including DSOM’99, NOMS’02, and DSOM’07. He currently serves on the editorial board of IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management (TNSM). His current research interests include scalable networks and systems, autonomous computing and self management.

Dr. Stadler’s research is supported by Swedish funding agencies (VR, SSF, VINNOVA, STINT), the European Commission, and direct grants from industry (Cisco Systems, IBM Research).

Dr. Stadler is a member of the Laboratory for Communication Networks (LCN) at KTH. He is  a founding member of the ACCESS Linneus Center at KTH and is affiliated with Wireless@KTH and and the Center for Networked System (CNS) at the Swedish Institute for Computer Science (SICS).
