Vikram Chandrasekaran is originally from India. He received his B.E. from Anna University, India and will be receiving his M.S. in Computer Science in August 2010. He is currently working as a research assistant for Dr. Ram Dantu.

Vikram specializes in computer networks with his core focus on Voice over IP and data communications. He has recently published papers on his works involving peer to peer networking with social hashing and social aspects of video phones. Some of his works include data routing based on social networks, hole specification for location to service translation system, media control for mobile phones and bio-medical diagnostics with mobile sensors. He has been collaborating with researchers from Columbia University, Texas A&M University and worked on identifying deadzones with Denco 9-1-1 service center.

As his major Professor, Dr. Dantu has high influence on his works and has helped Vikram over the past years. For that, Vikram would like to say, "Thank you Dr. Dantu, I couldn't have done it without you!" Vikram is working on his thesis and planning his defense in summer.
