About

Monique Morrow is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of distributed systems, edge computing, and autonomous robotics. Her most influential work, "A Platform as-a-Service for Hybrid Cloud/Fog Environments" (99 citations), established foundational architectures for bringing cloud capabilities closer to end-users and data sources, enabling computation and storage at network edges. This work has been instrumental in shaping how modern applications can seamlessly distribute components between distant clouds and local fog nodes. Morrow also made significant contributions to disaster response robotics with her highly-cited "A Coalition Formation Algorithm for Multi-Robot Task Allocation in Large-Scale Natural Disasters" (43 citations), which developed novel algorithms enabling robot teams to autonomously organize and execute search-and-rescue missions in hazardous environments where humans cannot safely operate. Additionally, her work on "Network Functions Virtualization Architecture for Gateways for Virtualized Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks" (13 citations) advanced the virtualization of sensor networks, enabling multiple applications to share infrastructure through dynamic, elastic gateway provisioning. Morrow's research has been particularly impactful in bridging theoretical frameworks with practical implementations for resilient, distributed systems that operate at the network edge.
