Education

He earned his B.Tech. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur, India. He earned his MS and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1999 and 2001 respectively, working with Prof. Ravishankar Iyer.

Career

From 2001 to 2002, he was a Research Staff Member at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in New York, NY in the Distributed Messaging Systems group. He joined Purdue University in 2002 at the West Lafayette campus in Indiana, where he was subsequently promoted to Associate Professor and then Full Professor. He founded and directs a university-wide center called CRISP (Center for Resilient Infrastructures, Systems, and Processes) with about 25 affiliated faculty.[6]

He has supervised 21 Ph.D. dissertations and about 50 MS dissertations.[7] He is the co-author of a book on wireless security and a forthcoming book from Springer titled "System Dependability and Analytics - Approaching System Dependability from Data, System and Analytics Perspectives".[8]

He has published more than 800 articles in books, journals, and conferences that have been cited more than 9,000 times for an h-index value of (51, 32) (All, Recent).[9]

Professional affiliations

Saurabh is a faculty member at Purdue University in ECE[10] and CS.[11] He is also the Inaugural International Visiting Faculty at IIT Kharagpur in the Computer Science and Engineering department. He was the co-founder of a startup called SensorHound Innovations LLC in 2013, which worked in the area of IoT reliability. He is the CTO of a recent startup called KeyByte LLC (from 2021) which is seeking to commercialize the research innovations from his lab in cloud-hosted databases.[12]

Honors and awards

He has received several awards from leading scientific and industrial organizations.

Research contributions

Saurabh has made fundamental contributions to the area of reliability and security of distributed systems and Internet of Things. He solved a long-standing problem in security of wireless networks, namely, how to secure multi-hop wireless networks in the absence of a central trusted node.[23] His solution for wireless reprogramming remains the fastest and most energy efficient solution to date [24] and has been used in city-wide deployments of wireless mesh networks.[25][26] His work has created the world's largest public repository for computer system usage and failure data called Fresco,[27] with funding from the National Science Foundation and resultant press coverage.[28][29] More recently, his work on streaming mobile apps, jointly with AT&T Research, showed a new way of avoiding the storage crunch on mobile devices and was widely covered in the press.[30][31][32] His recent work is demonstrating the use of IoT for digital agriculture.[33]

As of June 2021, he has 7 issued and 4 pending patents from the US Patent and Trademark Office.[34]
