Guru Parulkar • Stanford University
Personal Homepage 		[Guru Parulkar Picture]
While the Internet certainly does the job it was meant to do and well, its current instantiation was the result of a long series of decisions, many of which could have been made differently and resulted in a very different network. Investigating these other possible Internets and enabling such research to be carried out on the current one is an active area of research. Among those researchers, one of the chiefest is Stanford University's Guru Parulkar, Executive Director of the Open Networking Research Center (ONRC), the Open Networking Lab (ON.Lab), and the Open Networking Summits Inc. (ONS), and was also Executive Director of the Clean Slate Program, which has successfully led to four other flagship projects that have the potential to transform different parts of the Internet.

In 20 years in the networking field, Guru has worked in academia, startups, a large company, and a top tier venture capital firm. He joined the NSF in 2003 in its then new Computer and Network Systems Division and also served as the GENI Program Director (www.geni.net) and received NSF Director's award for Program Management Excellence. Prior to NSF, Guru spent several years in Silicon Valley at high-tech startups.
