I am a researcher and senior manager at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. I manage the Networking department at the center. I am the program manager for the International Technology Alliance . Some of the other projects that I am involved with can be viewed at the Communications/Networking research projects PIC page
I received my undergraduate degree from Indian Institute of Technology in 1987 and my doctorate degree from University of California, Berkeley in 1991 from the Tenet Networking Group headed by Prof. Domenico Ferrari. I joined IBM Research in 1992, and worked on network control protocols and algorithms. In August 1995, I took a detour to Philips Research, Briarcliff Manor where I dabbled in set-top boxes, embedded systems and digital television. I rejoined IBM Research in March 1997. In the interim, I also picked up a degree in management of technology from Brooklyn Polytechnic.

My current work interests include topics related to network science, Wireless and Sensor Networks , policy
based management, and next generation networks.
Other topics I have worked on include
policy enabled networks, caching and content
distribution networks, service differentiation and service
level management,
adaptive control of web-servers, and the exploitation of Java based
technologies for distributed web-based computing.
