The Applied Physics
Laboratory has named Bharat T. Doshi to head its
Research and Technology Development Center and its Science
and Technology Business Area.
Doshi, the Gupta Chair of Electrical and Computer
Engineering at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst,
assumes his new positions on June 5. He will lead a
department that conducts innovative advanced research with
broad applications across all APL programs, and develops
technologies of interest to the Lab's current and potential
sponsors in the Department of Defense, NASA and other
government agencies.
Doshi is an internationally recognized authority in
optical and wireless networking technologies, Internet
protocols and architectures, speech technologies and signal
processing, and network design and analysis algorithms and
tools. He is a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers and a Bell Laboratories Fellow. He has
been awarded 40 patents, published more than 120 technical
papers, served on advisory boards to U.S. government
agencies and edited several technical journals.
This will be Doshi's second tour at APL, where from
2003 to 2005 he worked in what is now the Applied
Information Sciences Department, leading the office
responsible for developing advanced information processing
and networking concepts. He joined APL after a
distinguished 24-year career at Bell Labs/Lucent
Technologies, where he served as a senior director in the
Advanced Communications Technologies Center and as the
director of Performance Analysis, among other management
positions.
Doshi received a bachelor's degree in mechanical
engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology,
Bombay, India, and earned his doctorate in operations
research from Cornell University.
