Podcast

I host the (free) podcast Immigrant Computer Scientists. Listen to personal stories (oral histories) of immigration from prominent and distinguished Computer Scientists from academia and industry, who immigrated from their home countries to the US. Subscribe and listen for free on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and nearly all podcast outlets. New Episodes every week from Aug 26th, 2021 and onwards! Check it out! Episode guides available at the website for Immigrant Computer Scientists. Join the online discussion on Twitter and Facebook. Throughout 2021 and 2022, the podcast has ranked among the top 20% of podcasts in the world! (based on listener download numbers).

Indy leads the Distributed Protocols Research Group, which works on large-scale distributed systems. He is recipient of the the NSF CAREER award in 2005, the Junior Xerox Award for Faculty Research in 2008, the CAS/Beckman Fellowship in 2009, and the Academy for Entrepreneurial Leadership Faculty Fellowship in 2010. Indy has won Best Paper Awards at IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2017, IEEE IC2E 2016, IEEE ICAC 2015 and BigMine 2012. He received teaching recognition in the UIUC “List of Teachers ranked as Excellent” multiple times since 2003. He served as General Chair of ACM PODC 2007; PC co-chair at HotCloud 2018, IC2E 2017, ICCAC 2016, DeMIST 2016, ACM/IFIP/Usenix Middleware 2010, IEEE SASO 2010. He has worked at Google, IBM Research, and Microsoft Research. Previously, Indy received his PhD in Computer Science from Cornell University in 2004, and Bachelor of Technology (Computer Science) from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Chennai/Madras, in 1998. Indy hosts a music radio show called “East of Zero” on community radio station WEFT 90.1 FM in Champaign, Illinois. Indy also hosts the popular "Immigrant Computer Scientists Podcast" featuring biographical interviews of renowned Computer Scientists who grew up outside and then immigrated into the US (ranked among top 20% podcasts in the world).

Others include playing Practical Jokes on people (passwd protected page).

I have been a member of the selective American MENSA (I stopped paying dues :). Here are some puzzles I have collected over time.

Reading Weird News

I host the (free) podcast Immigrant Computer Scientists. Check it out! Lots of free advice and interesting immigrant stories of prominent Computer Scientists in both academia and industry.
