I profess Electrical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai, and also reside in the sylvan IITM campus. After schooling in Vidya Mandir, Chennai, set out to study BSc (Applied Sciences) at PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore, and ME (Electrical Communications) at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. Between 1989-90, was a member of research staff at CRL, Bharat Electronics, Bangalore, and subsequently, enrolled in the PhD (Electrical Engineering) program at University of California, Santa Barbara. After graduating from UCSB in 1993, was a research affiliate at the Information Systems Lab, EE Dept., Stanford University, California. Since 1994, have been with the EE Dept. at IIT Madras, and also serve as a honorary visiting faculty at Sri Sathya Sai University, Prasanthi Nilayam, Andhra Pradesh.

Being a member of the Telecommunications and Computer Networks (TeNeT) Group at IITM, has made me understand and appreciate many practical issues in communications systems design and development. Am also actively involved in various broadband wireless research activities in co-operation with the Center of Excellence in Wireless Technology (CEWiT) . I enjoy playing volleyball and tennis, and following cricket on the TV. Very glad to be associated with the National Service Scheme (NSS) at IITM, which has brought me in touch with many inspiring people from all walks of life.
