Jonathan Hui

Bio

Jonathan focuses on building a network infrastructure for the Smart Grid. Currently, he works within the Smart Grid BU of Cisco Systems. Cisco recently acquired his startup, Arch Rock Corporation, where he was Founding Member and Lead Engineer and led the development of the PhyNet low-power wireless platform, the world's first commercial IPv6/6LoWPAN product and the first of its kind to receive the IPv6 Ready-Phase 2 (Gold) designation. He participates in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), having authored numerous standards specifications for IP in constrained networks. He also participates in the IP for Smart Objects (IPSO) Alliance to promote the use of IP in embedded networks. Jonathan received his PhD in Computer Science from UC Berkeley, where he was advised by David Culler.
