Employment History
2014-Present: Professor, Department of Computer and Information Sciences (CIS), Temple University, Philadelphia, PA.
I currently conduct research in several areas: energy and configuration management in data centers, access control and
security in collaborative data sharing, and networking issues.
2010 - 2013: Research Professor, Center for Secure Information Systems (CSIS), George Mason University (GMU).
My research at GMU was also in the areas of security and robustness issues in data centers. My recent work is also
focused on robustness in the Internet, particularly robustness of DNS/DNS-SEC and of inter-domain routing (BGP).
While at GMU, I also served as a Program Director in the CISE/CNS division at the National Science Foundation. At NSF,
I managed computer systems research (CSR) program in the CNS division and actively support a few other programs
such as Expeditions in Computing and Cyber-physical systems. Over the years, I was instrumental in expanding the
scope of the CSR program by addition of several emerging areas including energy and sustainability, pervasive
computing and communications, high performance computing, and cloud computing.
I was also deeply involved in the development of solicitations for the NSF-wide initiative called SEES (Science,
Engineering and Education for Sustainability) and represented CISE directorate in this initiative at multiple levels. In
particular, I was intimately involved in the development of several SEES solicitations and subsequently running the
funding competitions including Earth Systems Modeling (EASM), Sustainable Energy Pathways (SEP), Sustainability
Research Networks (SRN), Research Coordination Networks (RCN), Hazard and Disaster Management (HazardSEES),
Cyber enabled sustainability science and engineering (CyberSEES), etc.
I was also actively driving international collaboration initiatives within NSF in emerging fields of pervasive computing,
sustainability, and infrastructure security. In particular, I helped initiate a very successful US-India collaborative
research program called PC3 (pervasive computing & communications collaboration) that currently has several
successful ongoing projects in several pervasive computing topics. I also co-advised and continue to co-advise Ph.D.
students at several institutions including ones at GMU, Hanyang University (Korea), Univ of Texas/Arlington, University
of Minnesota, and University of North Carolina/Charlotte.
2008 - 2010: Program Director, CISE/CNS Division, National Science Foundation
This is a position at NSF similar to the current one. In addition to managing CSR and other NSF programs, I started
an initiative on energy efficiency of IT, particularly data centers. This sub-area within CSR continues to attract
increasing interest from the community. I also started initiative in enhanced international collaboration and organized
several workshops for international collaboration targeted at areas like pervasive computing & social networking,
infrastructure security, and computer networks and distributed systems. I coadvised 3 Ph.D. students during this time.
Research Collaborations: I have active collaborations with several universities. I have collaborated closely with
University of California at Davis since 2004 in the areas of robustness issues in the Internet, with University of
Minnesota on energy efficient and sustainable computing since 2009, with University of Texas at Arlington on energy
adaptation in peer to peer networks since 2009, and with Hanyang University (Korea) on emerging nonvolatile memory
(NVRAM) technologies since 2008. Currently I am collaborating with University of North Carolina, Charlotte on security
configuration for data centers.
1997 - 2008: Senior Performance Analysis Engineer, Digital Enterprise Group, Intel Corp, Hillsboro, OR.
Mainstream R&D Areas: A significant part of my work was focused in designing new algorithms for power
management of platform resources (DRAM ranks, DRAM-CPU interconnect, etc.) and detailed evaluation of their
performance impact. Many of these power management algorithms were either adopted or heavily influenced power
management architecture in Intel systems. Another key research was in the area of asset localization in data centers
using wireless USB radios and its platform implementation issues. My related work spanned various aspects of data
centers including real-time resource management, network virtualization, high speed networking, advanced transport
layer features, metering and monitoring in a virtualized environments, hardware protocol acceleration, etc. My work
on transport layer acceleration was critical in deciding Intel’s direction in this space.
Other work: One major theme of my work in Intel was the detailed architectural modeling of server platforms from a
variety of perspectives. These models typically include details of processor busses/links, memory pipeline, IO busses,
network processing, etc. and were used to assess impact of a variety of new HW capabilities on the performance of
server benchmarks such as TPC-C, TPC-H, SpecWeb 99/2005, etc. These models were routinely used in deciding overall
architecture of Intel servers for various segments. In particular, I extensively studied hardware acceleration of various
sorts (e.g., TCP, XML, encryption, authentication, compression, etc.), and the impact of inter-process communication
latency on the performance of clustered database systems. I also worked on a variety of other
research/implementation projects at Intel, including new server architectures that integrate compression into the
DRAM, Internet server traffic characterization in terms of self-similarity and transactional properties, peer to peer
computing, and network virtualization and utility computing. At Intel I was also involved with committees responsible
for evaluating proposals submitted to Intel for funding.
Research Collaboration and Funding: During my tenure at Intel, I collaborated extensively with UC/Davis and wrote
several joint NSF funding proposals. Two of these proposals were funded and supported much of my joint research
with UC/Davis. In addition, during 2004-5, I spent one year as a visiting researcher at UC/Davis to study advanced
transport features for data center networks. This visit was entirely supported by a competitive research grant funded
by Intel Research. During this time I also initiated a new project on meta-data channel based security in the Internet
and was successful in having it funded (along with UC/Davis) by Intel IT-research (different from Intel research). The
work on these projects involved close supervision of two Ph.D. students. I also worked closely with Southern Illinois
University and advised a Ph.D. student there on the topic of UWB radio based asset localization in data centers. During
this period I also carried out key work in two areas of Internet robustness: impact of large scale failures on the behavior
of inter-domain routing via the BGP protocol, and robustness issues associated with plain and secure domain name
service (DNS).
1991-1997: Senior Member of Technical Staff; Engineering, Performance, and Control department, Telcordia (formerly
Bellcore), Red Bank, NJ.
R&D Areas: Telecommunications systems cover two major areas of R&D: operations support system (OSS) and
switching systems (SS), and I have extensive experience on both of these sides. On the OSS side, I examined issues
relating to automatic provisioning of telephone service which requires interactions with dozens of database systems. I
developed both mathematical and simulation models to study completion times for automated provisioning. On the
switching side, I examined a variety of issues relating to signaling associated with call management. In particular, I
worked extensively on congestion control and link error monitoring in both narrow-band and broadband SS7 (signaling
system No. 7) networks. I also examined a variety of engineering issues relating to SS7, personal communication
systems (PCS), ISDN, AIN (advanced intelligent network), impact of data connections on voice networks, etc. Much of
this work was critical in supporting Bellcore’s generic requirements for US regional telecommunications networks and
formed a part of those requirements. During this time, I published extensively in the areas of congestion control,
performance modeling, and error monitoring. During this time I was promoted to grade “H” (or consultant) which was
the highest grade in the technical ladder.
1989-1991: Assistant and then tenured Associate Professor of Computer Science at Pennsylvania State University,
University Park, PA.
1985-1989: Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA.
Teaching, Research and Funding: I taught undergraduate courses in operating systems and database systems which
routinely enjoyed overflow enrollments and very high student scores. I also developed and taught graduate courses in
several advanced areas including computer system performance modeling, advanced operating systems, distributed
systems, and fault-tolerant computing. My primary areas of research were computer system performance modeling
and fault tolerant computing, and the research was funded by NSF and DoD. During this time, I also wrote a highly
regarded and comprehensive graduate textbook on mathematical performance modeling (listed above). I personally
established, managed, and supported the first networked laboratory of SUN workstations at Penn State for research
and teaching in networked systems. Several students were trained in networking and systems issues on this very early
networked system.
1981-1984: Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL.
Teaching/Research: Developed and taught undergraduate courses in several areas including: digital circuits & logic
design, compiler design, and operating systems. Designed and delivered graduate courses/seminars in fault-tolerant
computing, operating systems, and software engineering. During this time my research was primarily focused on faulttolerant software design but increasingly was directed towards performance modeling issues.
