Biography

Ravi Sundaram is a professor in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, based in Boston.

Sundaram is primarily interested in network performance and approximation algorithms for the design and efficient use of networks. He enjoys devising efficient schemes to improve the performance of network-based applications and validating their use through innovative systems implementations. Additionally, Sundaram is interested in network security and game theoretic aspects of network usage, and has previously worked in complexity theory and combinatorics.

Prior to joining Northeastern in 2003, Sundaram worked as a director of engineering at Akamai Technologies, where he played a critical role building out the world’s leading content delivery network. There, he established the mapping group responsible for directing over 10 billion browser requests per day to the optimal Akamai server.
