   Currently, I am a Research Staff Member at IBM's Austin Research Laboratory. Prior to that, I helped starting up Akamai Technologies and built the prototype of the routing technology that led to Akamai spin-off Sockeye Networks, which has been acquired by Internap. I also spent some time working on semiconductor technology at Sony. Intermittently, I served in various academic positions at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT, the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Department of Computer Science at Yale University, and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Iowa.

   I participated in several research projects including Porch - the portable checkpoint compiler, Cilk - an algorithmic multithreaded programming language, and Raw - a single-chip 16-processor architecture. Earlier, I designed several systems for large-scale parallel distributed computing in workstation networks and the Internet. In my thesis about The Network Machine, I designed a distributed operating system, an award winning step towards what is called cluster or grid computing today. Publications about more recent research activities can be found here.

My better known academic ancestors include: Leibniz, Euler, Lagrange, Fourier, Poisson, Dirichlet, and Hilbert.
