Vivek Jain

Dr. Jain is Senior Research Engineer with the Research and Technology Center, Robert Bosch LLC, Palo Alto, CA. Prior to joining BOSCH Group he was Research Assistant with Ohio Board of Reagents Center of Distributed and Mobile Computing, University of Cincinnati, OH (2002-2006). He is a pioneer in the area of medium access protocols for multiple beam smart antennas and has published seminal papers on this subject. He has also published papers in the area of energy efficient and reliable protocols for wireless sensor networks. His recent research interests include reliable and energy-efficient MAC protocols, cross layer optimizations for sensor networks, and protocols and algorithms for heterogeneous wireless networks including vehicular networks. He holds two US patents and has more than 14 filed patents in the several areas including multiple beam smart antennas, sensor networks, vehicular networks and next generation connectivity based solutions.

Dr. Jain received a B.Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Roorkee, India and the Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, USA. During his academic career he was recipient of several awards and honors including Institute Merit Scholarship at IIT Roorkee and University Graduate Scholarship at University of Cincinnati. He is very active professionally. He has served as Reviewer for numerous books, conferences and journals. He has also served as Technical Program Committee Member for several conferences. In 2008, he took an initiative in starting a new IEEE Workshop on Generation C Wireless Networks aimed at bringing academic, industrial and governmental researchers for developing context-aware connectivity based solutions for heterogeneous networks including, vehicular, healthcare, community, disaster mitigation, etc. Recently he has been listed in 2013 Marquis Who's Who in the World and Who's Who in America.
