since April 1995. He represents one of the partners responsible for the
management of high speed transatlantic network in support for high
energy physics research. His videoconferencing and networking
developments, include the international web-based videoconferencing
system known as VRVS (Virtual Room Videoconferencing Service; see at
http://www.vrvs.org) which allow several thousands of scientist world
wide to collaborate. This system is currently running in more than 60
countries and has become a standard part of the toolset used daily by a

DoE/NSF-supported program. These developments, on behalf of the high
energy physics community, have led to his assignment as, for project

Caltech and CERN in Geneva, in support of international research.
Current activities included the implementation of new digital video
technologies, including H.323 I.T.U. standard integration, MPEG-2 and
