Internship/Co-op Opportunity at Cisco Research, San Jose

Cisco Research is currently engaged in a number of research initiatives surrounding content aware services such as content-aware data delivery, network security, malware and anomaly detection. Initiatives include diverse areas from innovating new applications and services that can be enabled with content inspection capability, to defining languages that can be used to specify content processing rules, to creating data structures and algorithms for high performance implementation.

To support our initiatives, we are looking for two interns for duration of between 3 and 6 months at Cisco Research, San Jose, starting asap. This is an excellent opportunity to work with our leading research team, and contribute towards the development of current and future content aware network devices from Cisco. Applicants must possess excellent programming skills, be hard working and motivated, and have demonstrated research ability in the past. Strong background in the area of finite automata, parsers, compilers will be a plus.

Sailesh Kumar's Home
		I have graduated. Since 2008, I am working at Cisco Research. You can contact me at sailkuma AT cisco.com. Welcome to my homepage at the Computer Science and Engineering department here at Washington University in Saint Louis. My research advisers are Dr. Jon Turner and Dr. Patrick Crowley. My research interests revolve around all aspects of Network processor architectures and high speed router architectures. I am a PhD student working in Applied Research Laboratory. I am presently working on the GENI project envisioned by Dr. Jon Turner along with other researchers. Earlier, I worked for three and half years at Paxonet Communications (acquired by Conexant Systems in 2004) as ASIC designer. Before that I was an undergraduate student at IIT Kanpur in India. My research is supported by National Science Foundation, and an award from Cisco Systems.
