Biography

Krishnamurthy Viswanathan received the B.Tech. degree in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, in 1999, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degress in electrical engineering from University of California, San Diego, in 2001 and 2005 respectively. Since February 2005, he has been with HP Labs, where he works on applying ideas from information theory and statistical estimation to problems associated with new information ecosystems.
