{c}
<Frank Kelly> works on <probability theory>, <stochastic networks> and the mathematical organization of shared resources. His research connects <queueing theory> with <optimization>: local decisions about service, admission or price can determine a network's aggregate performance. His institutional research record describes these interests.https://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/person/fpk1[University of Cambridge research profile]{ref}
With <Elena Yudovina>, Kelly wrote <Stochastic Networks by Frank Kelly and Elena Yudovina>. Its treatment of <loss networks> shows how <detailed balance> can produce an explicit equilibrium occupancy law, while <congestion control> uses resource prices to coordinate competing demands. These are complementary uses of mathematics: predicting congestion and designing rules that improve it.<Stochastic Networks by Frank Kelly and Elena Yudovina>[Sections 1.3 and 3.1 on loss occupancy; chapter 7 on congestion control]{ref}
