Arun Somani, Professor, Professor of Electrical Engineering, earned his MSEE and Ph.D degrees in electrical engineering from the McGill University, Montreal, Canada, in 1983 and 1985, respectively. Prior to that, he worked as Scientific Officer for Govt. of India, New Delhi from 1974 to 1982. During this period he designed and developed an anti-submarine warfare system for Indian Navy.
Professor Somani's research interests are in the area of fault tolerant computing, interconnection networks, computer architecture, parallel computer systems, and parallel algorithms. Currently he is involved in three major projects: i) high integrity system design addressing the issues related to cache memory design in redundant computer systems and evaluation tools for such systems; ii) congestion control and fault tolerance in broadband networks; and iii) development of ``Proteus'' architecture, a multiprocessor system for automated classification of objects based on generalized enhanced hypercube reconfigurable interconnection network exploring coarse grain parallelism.
He likes to cook Indian food, hiking, play bridge, table tennis, and tennis.
