New PhD student joins Northampton

Ahmed Al-Khali has started as a new PhD student in Computing. He will working with Dr Ali Al-Sherbaz and Dr Yinghui Zhang on mobile wireless networking for vehicles. Especially concerned with ad-hoc networks that the emergency services can use and investigating issues such as "how do have we have an ad-hoc network when the nodes are moving quickly in the opposite direction?"
