OBJECTIVE
A technical staff position in the Austin area where I can employ my skills in
the area of computer networks and performance evaluation.

EDUCATION
Ph.D.	  Electrical Engineering, University of Rochester, 1990.
M.S.	  Electrical Engineering, University of Rochester, 1985.
	  GPA: 4.0/4.0.
B.Tech.   Bachelor of Technology, Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of
	  Technology, New Delhi, India, 1984. Graduated with distinction.
	  GPA: 9.5/10.0

DOCTORAL THESIS
"Prioritized Access in Carrier-Sense Multiple Access Local Area Networks"
Supervised by Prof. Alexander Albicki

    Developed a methodology for performance analysis of prioritized medium
    access protocols. Studied the class of buffered, prioritized, random access
    protocols. Evaluated the performance of a CSMA/CD protocol with multiple
    priority mechanisms, both with simulation and analytical models using the
    Equilibrium Point Analysis technique.

EXPERIENCE
1991-present: Member Technical Staff, CAE Plus, Inc., Austin, TX
     *	Responsible for the development of performance evaluation models of
	LANs and LAN-based systems. Recent projects include simulation models
	for Ethernet, token-ring, FDDI, NFS, and a SCSI-2-based disk subsystem
	using SES/workbench.
     *	Also responsible for administration of a network of Sun Sparc and IBM
	RS/6000 workstations.

1990-1991: Postdoctoral Fellow, Dept. of EE, Univ. of Rochester.
     *  Taught undergraduate courses: control systems and an introduction to
        computing.
     *  Continued research in access protocols for local area networks.

1986-1990: Research Assistant, Dept. of EE, Univ. of Rochester.
     *  Implemented an algorithm for scan path design in a CAD system for
	designing self-testing chips.
     *  Designed a laboratory project for a computer networks course. The
	project requires the layered implementation and testing of a sliding
	window protocol over Appletalk on Macintosh computers.

1986-1990: System Administrator, Dept. of EE, Univ. of Rochester.
     *  Managed computing resources of research lab. Duties included system
	maintenance of Sun-3 workstations running SunOS UNIX, and maintaining
	software for Macintosh computers.

Summer 1983: Trainee at ICIM (P) Ltd., New Delhi, India (a subsidiary of
	International Computers Limited, UK).
     *  Ported and debugged financial and payroll systems in IBM System/370
	COBOL to ANSI COBOL to run on ICL machines.

COMPUTER SKILLS
     *  Extensive experience with system administration and program development
	under UNIX (SunOS and AIX).
     *  Programming experience in C, PASCAL, FORTRAN, COBOL, and UNIX C-shell.
     *  Operating Systems: SunOS UNIX, AIX, VM/CMS, Macintosh.
     *  Simulation Tools: SES/workbench, Network II.5.

AWARDS AND DISTINCTIONS
Xerox Fellow, 1988-1990.
Merit Certificates, IIT Delhi (5 semesters), 1979-1984. Similar to Dean's list.
National Talent Search Merit Scholarship, India, 1977-1984.

PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS
