Biography

I received my BE in Computer Engineering from Victoria Jubilee Technical Institute, Mumbai, India in 1992, MS in Computer Science from the Vanderbilt University in 1995, and my PhD from the Computer Science department at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 2000. I then spent two years working at ACIRI, now called ICIR. I've been at Microsoft Research since April 2002.
