| |Science to real-life problems |

|Academic Honors |(2007) My technology, Chunkyspread, was mentioned in the Ten Emerging Innovations in the March/April 2007 Issue of MIT |

| |Technology Review |

| |(2006) Outstanding TA Award for the course on Computer Architecture |

| |(2003) Received the Cornell University Fellowship for incoming PhD students |

| |(2000) Received the top prize for Academic Excellence for the first year of my undergraduate study |

| |(1999) Ranked among the top 0.2% of the examinees (Rank: 270) in the IIT Entrance Examination |

| |(1997) Received the National Talent Search Scholarship awarded by National Council for Educational Research and Training |

| |(NCERT), New Delhi |

| |(1999) Merit Certificate Holder in Math and Chemistry at AISSCE |

|Research Projects |Summer’06-Fall’07 |

| |Developed a new transport protocol, Priority-Layered Transport (PLT), for long-haul networks. Spent two summers at Bell |

| |Labs, Lucent Technologies, New Jersey working on this problem. I hacked into the Linux TCP code to build this protocol and |

| |implemented a performance-enhancing proxy. (Collaborating with T. V. Lakshman, M. Kodialam,(Lucent Technologies, Holmdel) |

| |and P. Francis) |

| | |

| |Summer’04-Spring’06 |

| |Designed Chunkyspread, a heterogeneity-aware end-to-end multicast protocol for live streaming applications. The protocol |

| |has been tested on Emulab, and will be shortly deployed on Planetlab. The system along with the simulator has been |

| |implemented in C++ (more than 25K lines of code). (Collaborated with P. Francis and K. Yoshida) |

| | |

| |Summer’02-Summer’03 |

| |Involved in developing real-time resource allocation algorithms for synchronous and asynchronous Ad Hoc wireless mesh |

| |networks at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras. This also involved wide-scale simulations in the GloMoSim simulator. |

| |(With Prof. C. S. R. Murthy ) |

|Publications |V. Venkataraman, P. Francis, M. S. Kodialam, T. V. Lakshman. A Priority-layered Approach to Transport for high |

| |bandwidth-delay product networks, Submitted to SIGCOMM 2008 |

| |Asynchronous Wireless Mesh Networks, In HiPC’ 03. |

|Programming & System building skills |Programming languages: Experience in C, C++, Java, PASCAL, C# |

| | |

| |Operating systems: Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris |

| | |

| |Scripting languages: bash and awk |

| | |

| |Experience: |

| |Hacked into Linux TCP code of over 25K lines and designed a new network-transport protocol for long fat networks. Designed |

| |and built from scratch, Chunkyspread (over 15K lines), a P2P multicast system in C++. Developed and worked on a P2P |

| |multicast simulator Willow in Java. Used FreePastry code to develop capacity-balancing techniques in a structured P2P |

| |infrastructure. Have worked extensively on the Emulab and the WAIL-router testbeds |
