Neel Sundaresan
Distinguished Research Scientist and Director, Research Labs
Neel Sundaresan is the director of eBay Research Labs and a Distinguished
Research Scientist. His current areas of research interest includes Social and
Incentive Networks, Trust and Reputation Systems, Machine Learning as applied
to Recommender systems, Classification, Ontology, and Search. He has been with
eBay since 2005. Prior to joining eBay was a founder and CTO of a startup
focused on multi-attribute fuzzy search and network CRM. Prior to this he was
the head of the eMerging Internet Technologies group at the IBM Research
Center. There he built the first XML-based Search Engine. He was one of the
early leaders in building XML technologies including schema-aware compression
algorithms, application component generators and pattern-match systems and
compilers. He built the first RDF reference implementation as a W3C standard
recommendation. He led research work in other areas like domain specific search
engines, multi-modal interfaces and assistive technologies, semantic
transcoding, web mining, query systems, and classification for semi-structured
data. Prior to this he worked on C++ compiler and runtime systems for massively
parallel machines and for shared memory systems and also on retargetable
compilers, program translators and generators. He has over 40 research
publications and several patents to his credit. He has been a frequent speaker
at several national and international technology conferences. He has advised 2
PhD and several masters dissertations. He has a degree in mathematics and a
masters in computer science and engineering from the Indian Institute of
Technology, Mumbai India and a PhD in computer science from Indiana University,
Bloomington. His dissertation was on Modeling Control and Dynamic Data
Parallelism in Object-Oriented Languages.
