Pravein Kannan is a Staff Research Scientist at IBM Research in Bengaluru with 11 years of experience bridging deep systems engineering and academic research in programmable networks, SDN, network virtualization, and mobile communications. He holds a PhD and MS from the National University of Singapore and has a track record of transitioning research prototypes into practical systems, informed by earlier firmware and OS bring-up work at Cisco on IOS-XR and Intel-based platforms. His career spans academia (postdoc and research fellow roles) and industry, giving him a rare combination of rigorous experimental methods and hands-on production debugging expertise. Known for power- and network-aware systems research from his NUS days, he brings both low-level firmware insight and high-level network programmability to cloud and networking problems.
