Ranveer Chandra is a Researcher at Microsoft Research. He completed his undergraduate studies in Computer Science from IIT Kharagpur, India, and his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cornell University in 2005. As part of his doctoral dissertation he developed VirtualWiFi - a virtualization architecture for wireless network cards. This software has been downloaded more than 125,000 times, and is among the top 5 downloaded software released by Microsoft Research. Windows 7 supports some VirtualWiFi APIs as well.
Ranveer’s research focuses on system challenges in designing computer networks. He is currently working on four different projects: white space networking, energy saving PC architecture, mobile systems, and network management. Ranveer was invited to the FCC to present his research on white spaces. Spectrum regulators from India (TRAI), China (SARFT), Brazil (ANATEL) and Singapore (IDA) have visited the Microsoft Campus in Redmond, WA to see a live demonstration of his research. Ranveer has filed over 40 patents on his research, 7 of which have been granted. He has also published more than 30 research papers, two of which have won the best paper awards at ACM CoNext 2008 and ACM SIGCOMM 2009. 
In 2008, he organized the MSR Cognitive Wireless Networking Summit in Snoqualmie, WA, which brought together leading academics and industry people to discuss the challenges in build dynamic spectrum access networks, for example over the TV white spaces. More information can be found here.
