Archan Misra is a Research Staff Member at the IBM TJ Watson Research Center, Hawthorne, NY, where he works on infrastructural components for pervasive networking and middleware for presence-based, context-aware computing. His current research projects include middleware for SIP-based “rich presence" in converged networks, high-performance wireless mesh networks and sensor data management techniques for healthcare and remote monitoring scenarios. Archan received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Maryland at College Park in May, 2000, and his B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering from IIT Kharagpur, India in July 1993. Prior to joining IBM in 2001, Archan worked at Telcordia Technologies on architectures for QoS in the Internet and adaptive IP-based mobility management algorithms. He has published extensively in the areas of wireless network protocols and pervasive computing and is a co-author on papers that received the Best Paper awards in ACM WOWMOM 2002 and IEEE MILCOM 2001. He is presently on the editorial board of the IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine, and currently chairs the IEEE Computer Society’s Technical Committee on Computer Communications (TCCC).
