Position: Professor (NUS)

Bio: Mun Choon graduated with a BS in Computer and Electrical Engineering from Purdue University with highest distinction in 1990, MSEE in 1993 and Ph.D. in 1997, both from Columbia University. In Columbia, he was a member of the comet group and worked under the supervision of Prof. Aurel A. Lazar on large scale network emulation, network management and programmable network. From 1997 to 2003, he was a Member of Technical Staff in the Networking Research Laboratory, Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies. In Bell Labs, he worked on network management and wireless data transport over cellular network. His work in Bell Labs includes highly cited work on TCP/IP performance over 3G wireless links (MobiCom 2012) and a US patent on cache-based compaction technique that has more than 210 patent citations (US Patent 6,178,461).  

Position: Professor (SMU)

Bio: Archan Misra is a Vice Provost (Research) and Professor of Computer Science in the School of Computing & Information Systems at Singapore Management University. His primary research interests are in the areas of Mobile & Wearable Sensing & Computing, Ultra Low-Power & AI for IoT, Optimized Human-Machine Interaction, Smart City Services & Mobility Analytics. Prior to joining SMU, he spent over a decade as an industrial researcher, including stints as: a Senior Scientist at Telcordia Technologies, Piscataway, NJ (2008-2010),  Research Staff Member at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, Hawthorne, NY (2001-2008) and Research Scientist at Bellcore, Morristown, NJ (2001-2008). He is a Distinguished Member of the ACM and a Senior Member of the IEEE.

Position: Assistant Professor (NUS)

Bio: Ambuj Varshney is an Assistant Professor at National University of Singapore. Previously, he was a postdoctoral scholar at UC Berkeley. He completed his doctoral studies at Uppsala University, Sweden. Ambuj Varshney's interests have centered around embedded systems, wireless, and mobile computing for over a decade. One important problem he has tackled is the energy asymmetry among components of embedded systems, a pressing problem that hinders their widespread deployment. In particular, Varshney has designed novel low-power wireless transmitters that achieve hundreds of meters of range at tens of microwatts of power consumption orders of magnitude lower than widely used commercial transmitters. His research has led to awards, accolades, grants, and an ABB Research Award in Honour of Hubertus von Gruenberg. Several of his students have also received significant honors and accolades; for example, one student won the ACM Student Research Competition at ACM MobiCom 2017.  

Position: Research Fellow (NUS)

Bio: Manoj Gulati is an applied researcher with a demonstrated history of working in the industry and academia, having more than 10 years of hands-on experience in Hardware Design including top MNCs like Hewlett-Packard. He is skilled in Low-power Embedded System Design, Embedded Software, PCB Designing, Microprocessors, and Embedded C. Manoj is a strong research professional with a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) focused in Embedded Sensing and Energy Sustainability from Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology (IIIT-Delhi), India along with three years research experience in LARC Centre, School of Computing and Information Systems, Singapore Management University (Singapore) and one-year research experience in Paul G. Allen Center for Computer Science and Engineering at University of Washington, Seattle (USA). Currently, he is working as a Research Fellow at School of Computing at NUS with Prof. Ambuj Varshney.
