Summary

George Varghese's research interests include very-high-speed communications in computer networking on the Internet, with research aimed to make the Web into something as fast and reliable as other utilities such as electricity and telephones. He was one of only two computer scientists awarded ONR Young Investigator awards in 1996, and graduating students voted him Best Teacher in Computer Science at UCSD in 2001. Dr. Varghese joined the UCSD faculty in August 1999, after six years teaching at Washington University in St. Louis. Between 1983 and 1993, he was a researcher and principal engineer at DECNET, part of Digital Equipment, in Littleton, Massachusetts, where he worked on a precursor to the gigabit Ethernet, and helped write and design specifications for DEC's Bridge Architecture that was later adopted as an IEEE standard. Dr. Varghese completed a Ph.D. in computer science at MIT in 1993.
