My research focuses on online learning algorithms for network and resource management:
Real time, learning based crosslayer network control algorithms. This approach adjusts network resources to adapt to dynamic changes in the network environment under varying QoS constraints.
Adaptive caching and buffering for video and large (M2M) data sets.
TD-learning based approaches to self tuning energy management systems for commercial and residential consumers. This approach uses energy useage templates to “design” EMS systems.
Distributed energy management systems using stochastic sequential decision models on distributed microGrids.
Energy management systems for data centers. Demand (data network load) driven control algorithms for IP routers and switches.
Applications allow system operators to manage the performance tradeoffs of their network both from the perspective of the customer and from the perspective of optimizing converged network efficiency.

Previously, I was President and CEO of Clearwater Networks and General Manager of the Integrated Processor Division at National Semiconductor. At Clearwater Networks, I was responsible for setting the overall business strategy, raising venture capital totaling $35 million, growing the organization to 75 people, and successfully managing the development of the initial products. At National Semiconductor, I started the division, defined the initial products and managed their development on time and on budget. I was responsible for managing corporate relationships with Microsoft, Wind River Software and Cisco. At SUN Microsysems I was Sr. Director of Corporate Development and Strategy. I was also Vice President and Partner at Merrill Lynch Venture Capital for six years, where I was responsible for investments in networking, semiconductors, and storage (six IPO‘s.)
