The focus of my current research is to apply Game Theory and Mechanism Design to Internet and Network Economics, and Electronic Commerce Problems
I am fortunate to have been an alumnus of: (1) The Government Primary School in Kosgi (Kurnool District, Andhra Pradesh) during 1964-69; (2) The Mahatma Gandhi Municipal High School in Hindupur (Anantapur District, Andhra Pradesh) during 1969-74; (3) The National College, Gauribidanur (Chickaballapur District, Karnataka) during 1974-79 (Pre-University and B.Sc. Courses), and (4) The Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. I have been at the Indian Institute of Science since August 1979, as a B.E. Student (Department of ECE) (1979-82), M.E. Student (Department of CSA) (1982-84), and Doctoral Student (CSA) (1984-87). Since February 1988, I am on the faculty of the Department of CSA. During 1992, I was a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS), Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA and during 1997, I was a Visiting Scientist on sabbatical at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersberg, Maryland, USA. I am a Fellow of the following Institutions and Academies: IEEE, New York (FIEEE); Indian National Science Academy (FNA), New Delhi; Indian Academy of Sciences (FASc), Bangalore; Indian National Academy of Engineering (FNAE), New Delhi; and the National Academy of Sciences (FNASc), Allahabad. I am a recipient of the 2009 Alumni Award for Research Excellence in Engineering at the Indian Institute of Science. I am currently a Senior Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering. I am also Chief Coordinator at the Office of Technology Development Missions at the Indian Institute of Science and a member of the IISc Alumni Cell.
