— Associate Professor of Electrical, Computer, and System
Engineering Department (ECSE)
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Education:
— Ph.D., Computer and Information Sciences, The Ohio
State University, 1997
— M.S., Computer and Information Sciences, The Ohio State
University, 1994

Career Highlights:
Since joining Rensselaer in 1997, Kalyanaraman has taught
in the university's information technology and computer science
departments, in addition to his role in ECSE. He has earned
several prestigious recognitions, such as being named one
of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Technology
Review magazine's top 100 young innovators for the next
millennium. Rensselaer honored Kalyanaraman with a School
of Engineering Research Award in 2003 and the Faculty Early
Career Award in 2001 – a recognition conferred once a
year upon a very select subset of young faculty with three
to ten years of service. He was named an honored member of
International Who's Who of Information Technology in 1999;
and as a student at the Indian Institute of Technology, he
was given the Technical Merit Award, for placing third out
of nearly 100,000 students.
Kalyanaraman has published two book chapters
and has had over a dozen refereed articles published or accepted.
He and his team members have filed or been granted eight patents,
and he has given more than 40 invited talks in the last three
years at such prominent institutions as the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, Carnegie-Mellon University, the University
of California at Berkeley, Columbia University, AT&T Research
Labs, Motorola Labs, and Intel Architecture Labs. He also
is the co-founder of Premonitia, Inc., a network management
company.
Research Areas:
Kalyanaraman's research interests include computer networking,
with a concentration on traffic management. His studies include
topics of congestion control architectures, Quality of Service
(QoS), high-speed wireless last-mile networks, free-space
optical networks, network management, multicast, pricing,
multimedia networking, and performance analysis. He is also
keenly interested in developing the interdisciplinary areas
between traffic management, wireless communication, optoelectronics,
control theory, economics, scalable simulation technologies,
and video compression.
His doctoral work on rate-based congestion
control algorithms for traffic management in ATM networks
has led to numerous contributions to the ATM Forum, a standards
body. Notable articles from this work included a widely cited
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)/Association
for Computing Machines (ACM) Transactions of Networking
paper on the "ERICA" switch algorithm and in the
Performance Evaluation Journal on the OSU scheme for
congestion control in ATM networks. This work considerably
influenced the standards process and is included in the final
ATM Forum traffic management standards.
Combined funding for Kalyanaraman's research
totals over $4 million and comes from such sources as the
National Science Foundation, the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA), Intel, AT&T Research, IBM, and
the Army Research Office (ARO). He works actively with standards
bodies including the ATM Forum and the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF) to produce open-source Linux-based research
distributions.
Current projects include Congestion Control
Schemes and Architectures, Control-theoretic Foundations of
Congestion Control, Multicast Congestion Control, Dynamic
Differentiated Services and Internet Pricing, TCP Performance
and Better "Best-Effort" Service, and On-line Simulation
for Network Management and Control.
Kalyanaraman also leads an Internet2 committee
that is drafting the architecture for a general overlay network
facility for use by networking researchers.
