Ravi Sundaram


Ravi Sundaram is a professor at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University. He earned his doctorate and master’s in electrical engineering and computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as his bachelor’s in computer science and engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology at Madras, India. Prior to joining Northeastern in 2003, Sundaram worked as a director of engineering at Akamai Technologies, where he played a critical role in the buildout of 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.
Sundaram is primarily interested in network performance and approximation algorithms for the design and efficient utilization of networks. He enjoys devising efficient schemes for improving the performance of network-based applications and validating their use through innovative systems implementations. Additionally, he is interested in network security and game theoretic aspects of network usage. Sundaram has previously worked in complexity theory and combinatorics.
