Bio

Prior to moving to Microsoft Research’s India lab, I was manager of the Software Productivity Tools group in Microsoft Research Redmond. I have a PhD in Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley, MS in Computer Science from the University of Virginia, and a BE in Computer Science from Anna University College of Engineering, Guindy, in Chennai. Previously, I worked as a programmer for over 5 years writing telecommunication software and electronic design automation software. My first-hand experience in the realities of commercial software development guide my choice of problems and approaches to research in software productivity.

I’m an Adjunct Professor at the Indian Institute of Technology in Hyderabad and serve on the editorial board of CACM. I co-founded the ISEC conference in India, and serve on the executive committee of the Special Interest Group on Software Engineering (SIGSE) in India. I have also co-founded the Mysore-Park workshop series in India.

Other Interests

Together with colleagues at MSR India, I am working on a blended learning model (combining online learning with in-classroom pedagogy) for education in India. For more detais see: Massively Empowered Classrooms.

I am very interested in CS research community activities in India. See Mysore-Park workshop series.
