Stephen F. Bush is a researcher in Algorithmic Communications Network Theory at the GE Global Research Center. Dr. Bush was presented with a Gold Cup Trophy Award from DARPA for his work in fault tolerant networking. Stephen F. Bush received the B.S. degree in electrical and computer engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, M.S. degree in computer science from Cleveland State University, and Ph.D. degree from the University of Kansas. He is currently a researcher at General Electric Global Research, Niskayuna, NY. He is the author of Nanoscale Communication Networks (Norwood, MA: Artech House, 2010). He coauthored a book on active network management, titled Active Networks and Active Network Management: A Proactive Management Framework (New York, NY: Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers, 2001). He is an internationally recognized researcher in Active Networking and Algorithmic Communications Networking Theory with over 75 peer-reviewed publications. Dr. Bush is the past chair of the IEEE Emerging Technical Subcommittee on Nanoscale, Molecular, and Quantum Networking and currently chair for the IEEE 1906.1 standards working group on nanoscale communication networks. Dr. Bush is an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer on the smart grid and nanoscale communication networks. He is also on the steering committee for the IEEE Smart Grid Vision Project. Steve is a researcher of communication systems and information theory and is passionate in seeking new paradigms for applying these technologies. He enjoys interacting with creative people as well as writing and has authored several books: Smart Grid: Communication-Enabled Intelligence for the Electric Power Grid (ISBN: 978-1-119-97580-9, 576 pages, March 2014, Wiley-IEEE Press), Nanoscale Communication Networks (Norwood, MA: Artech House, 2010) and coauthored a book on active network management entitled Active Networks and Active Network Management: A Proactive Management Framework (New York, NY: Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers, 2001). Steve also volunteers his time as Past Chair of the IEEE Emerging Technical Subcommittee on Nanoscale, Molecular, and Quantum Networking and is currently serving as Chair of the IEEE 1906.1 standards working group on nanoscale communication networks as well as going on tour as an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer on the smart grid and nanoscale communication networks. ©
