Biography of Bo Friis Nielsen :

Bo Friis Nielsen (M'84) received the M.Sc degree in electrical engineering from the Technical University of Denmark in 1984 and the Ph.D. degree in operations research from the Technical University of Denmark in 1988. He spent the academic year 1995-1996 as a visiting researcher at Bell Communications Research (Bellcore) in Red Bank New Jersey. He holds a position as lecturer at the Department of Mathematical Modelling at the Technical University of Denmark.

His current research interests include characterization of point processes, the Markovian Arrival Process, phase type distributions, and quasi birth and death processes with a continuous phase variable.

His interests in applications include telecommunications, predator-prey encounters, evaluation of screening programmes and road traffic. He has authored and co-authored a number of papers in journals and conference proceedings.
