I currently lead Supply Chain research at IBM and focus on combining AI, Blockchain, and IoT to build intelligent self-correcting supply chains.

I like to innovate and try to deeply influence both the industry and the academic communites, and transitively our society, with my efforts. Several ideas from my projects and patents manifest themselves in mobile, ecommerce, graphics, and other products created by multiple companies and used all over the world daily by hundreds of millions of people. I have been very fortunate to work on several exciting projects with great colleagues and clients and to have my work covered by the world’s leading newspapers and appear on the covers of several technical publications and in industry analyst reports. I was elected a Fellow of the IEEE in 2008 for my contributions to pervasive computing.

I was twice named an IBM Master Inventor (less than 0.06% of IBMers are named each year) and hold 112 US Patents and 187 patents worldwide. I am named on several IBM Research Accomplishments, pieces of work that are deemed as technologically innovative and have demonstrated a real impact on our world. I am also a member of the IBM Academy of Technology, which includes IBM's leading thinkers and problem solvers, and the IBM Industry Academy, which includes IBM's most eminent and innovative industry visionaries. I am also part the IBM Academy of Technology Leadership Team (ALT). I also serve on the Advisory Council for the Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering Department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
