Brief Bio of present Officers:

Chair: Sanjiv Rai
(Email - s.r at computer.org)
Sanjiv is the CEO and Chief Research Architect at Advanced Radio Engineering (ARE) Technologies Inc. Sanjiv has been a distinguished entrepreneur and research practitioner for the past 12 (twelve) years with a recognized track record in creating high-impact inventions and managing international business. He has been rated as the “Top 10 emerging star entrepreneurs in the ICT industry” and as one of Top IT Innovators in the past. Sanjiv is a frequent speaker and chairs various conferences and committees both within and outside the organization on Technology initiatives across the world. Sanjiv owns several Intellectual Properties as an inventor and author, which at times have been commended as Killer inventions by the Wireless and Nano-electronics Industry. Sanjiv is the chief architect behind D5 Technology and AceWP Standard. In addition to his role as the CEO, he has been a key driver behind Lean Six-Sigma and CMMI-IPPD rigor at ARE. Towards his other IEEE community services, Sanjiv also currently serves as the Chair - Radio and Convergence Technologies at the IEEE, Computer Society Technical Committee on Computer Communication (TCCC) and is a Working Group member of IEEE P1690 Nanotechnology Standards WG of the IEEE Nanotechnology Council

Sanjiv’s Research areas:
Sanjiv’s primary area of research is aimed at developing a “Unified theory of communication and wireless computing” where the radio behavior can be changed based on user demand (on-the-fly) for intensive Wireless computing by converging Internet Protocols over Radios (in their universal form starting 3 MHz up to 300 GHz) through unique interfaces and architectural changes that facilitate seamless Data and Voice communication towards 4G integration and beyond. His study involves Hybrid standards, Protocol Interfaces, Software Defined Radios and Molecular computing & Computer architecture models on various Nanotechnology platforms with a special emphasis on Carbon tubes.
