Narasimha Chari

I'm an entrepreneur and technologist based in the Bay Area. I was a co-Founder and CTO of Tropos Networks (now part of ABB), which specialized in wide-area wireless communications. I have done research and published in a variety of areas including wireless networking, quantum computing, string theory, nuclear physics and nuclear detection.

I received a BS in Mathematics and Economics from the California Institute of Technology and an AM in Physics from Harvard University. I have 20+ issued patents, with an additional 20+ patents pending. I'm fairly fluent in English, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil and French and am trying to add Spanish to that list.
