“We look forward to working with Hady over the next two years,” said Nim K. Cheung, Past President, IEEE Communications Society, and Editor-in-Chief, IEEE Communications Magazine. “One of our major goals in 2008-09 is to increase the content catering to engineering practitioners, as I believe we are already serving the academic communities reasonably well. We will count on Hady as part of a distinguished group of editors to maintain the high quality of the magazine, and raise the relevance of the magazine to a new high.”
Salloum, who has been with Stevens since 2005, is Director of Maritime Security Technology Applications in the Stevens Maritime Security Laboratory, which is a component of The Center for Maritime Systems/Davidson Laboratory.

Early in his career at Bellcore (in the late 1980s), he worked on Broadband Access Technologies, including Fiber to the Premises, DSL, and Wi-Max and published over a 100 papers in this area, mainly on fiber-to-the-home. He was also active in many national and international standards committees that were responsible for defining SONET/SDH and ATM. Salloum also developed system requirements for fiber to the home that are used today by service providers worldwide.
