About

Imed Romdhani is a leading researcher in the field of low-power and lossy networks (LLNs), with a particular focus on the performance and optimization of the IPv6 Routing Protocol for LLNs (RPL). His work addresses the critical challenge of integrating mobility into traditionally static sensor networks, a necessity for modern applications in mobile robotics and dynamic environments. His most-cited paper, "Performance Evaluation of the RPL Protocol in Fixed and Mobile Sink Low-Power and Lossy-Networks" (2015, 20 citations), provides foundational insights into how RPL behaves when sinks are mobile, highlighting key performance trade-offs and guiding future protocol enhancements. Romdhani has also contributed to the broader domain of collaborative computing, exploring the intersection of networking, applications, and worksharing (2018, 8 citations). His research is instrumental for students and engineers designing resilient, energy-efficient IoT systems that must support node or sink mobility. By systematically evaluating protocol performance under realistic constraints, Romdhani’s work helps bridge the gap between theoretical routing models and practical deployment in smart cities, industrial automation, and environmental monitoring.
