About Dipankar Raychaudhuri
Raychaudhuri is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rutgers University. His areas of expertise include future network architectures and protocols, wireless systems and technology, dynamic spectrum access and cognitive radio, experimental prototyping, and network research testbeds.
He has served as a PI for several future Internet projects under the NSF FIA, GENI, and FIND programs (2005-present) and is currently leading the $7.6M NSF FIA “MobilityFirst” multi-institutional team project aimed at development of a comprehensive future Internet architecture. He is a PI for $9M ORBIT wireless network testbed projects (2003-present), leading to successful design, integration, and community release of the large-scale 400-node ORBIT radio grid testbed at Rutgers University. Additionally, Raychaudhuri managed system architecture and software development teams for early MIMO broadband wireless product (2001-02) aimed at residential fixed wireless access market, established one of the world’s first research projects on broadband wireless networks (1993-99), and led development of NEC’s WATMnet system from lab prototype to commercial trials stage. He was also the architecture lead for ATRC team (Sarnoff, Philips, Thomson, NBC), which developed the AD-HDTV system prototype, one of several candidate HDTV systems tested by FCC (1990-92). He earned his B.Tech(Hons) Electronics and Electrical Communications from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from SUNY, Stony Brook.
