BIOGRAPHY
I am on the faculty at UCLA as Professor and Vice Chair of Graduate Affairs in the Electrical Engineering Department, with a joint appointment as Professor in the Computer Science Department. Before joining UCLA in 1997, I worked for about four and a half years at the Networked Computing Research Department at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, NJ�(it was called�AT&T Bell Labs when I had joined, but perennial reorganizations had transformed it into Lucent Technologies - Bell Labs Innovations by the time I left!). My interests in mobile and wireless systems are largely because of my work at Bell Labs where my group built one of the first wireless ATM system. Prior to that, I did my graduate work in the EECS Department at Bob Brodersen in the general area of CAD tools for embedded DSP VLSI and system design. My M.S.�project (1988) was on CMOS bit-slice datapath compilation as part of the�Lager silicon compiler for DSP VLSI, while my Ph.D. dissertation (1992) was on hardware-software rapid prototyping and co-design at the board level for embedded DSP and control applications. Going even further back in time, I received my B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering from IIT, Kanpur in India in 1985, and did my prior schooling at the Colvin Taluqdars' College in Lucknow, India - the city where I grew up. I currently serve as the Editor-in-Chief of the ACM Mobile Computing anc Communications Review, and as Associate Editor of the ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks and the ACM/IEEE Transactions on Networking.
