He completed his masters in Electronics (AI & Robotics) from Cochin University of Science and Technology and PhD from International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore (IIIT-B) in computer networking and security. His research interests are Cyber Security, Data Analytics and Threat Intelligence, High Performance Computing, and Internet Protocol Engineering. He has about 35 research papers in international journals and conference proceedings. He has obtained International patents in USA, Europe and World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), related next generation transport protocol security. He received DAAD Fellowship from German Academic Exchange Service and subsequently worked at Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication system (FOKUS), Germany from 2002 to 2004. From 2009 to 2010, he was with the French National Research Institute in Computer Science and Control (INRIA), France as a Senior Expert Engineer. He has worked on a large European Union Project called OneLab2 to establish a geographically distributed and federated network testbed. He was a member of the proof-of-concept demonstration of tri-party network testbed federation among PlanetLab US, PlanetLab Europe and PlanetLab Japan. In 2016, he was invited to participate in the 95th IETF meeting in Argentina with Fellowship from Internet Society. Dr. V Anil Kumar was one of the project leaders for establishing a supercomputing facility for CSIR, which was ranked no. 1 in India and 58th fastest supercomputer in the world, as per the June 2012 list of top500 supercomputers. He was also the Chief Investigator of multiple sponsored R&D projects on cyber security from Ministry of Information Technology, Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of India and CSIR. He has also initiated a 5 yearlong project on Cyber Security Research and Observation (CySeRO) under the CSIR 12th Five Year Plan, and currently coordinating the CySeRO programme. He has been interacting and collaborating extensively with International Community, and visited many countries like Germany, USA, Canada, Sri Lanka, France, Hungary and Argentina. He has delivered more than 40 invited talks/key notes and has been part of several scientific and technical committees at national and international level. 1 An institute of National Importance established through act of parliament. 1 Professional Experience: Scientist at various levels (Scientist-B, Scientist-C, Scientist-E1, Principal Scientist and Senior Principal Scientist at CSIR Fourth Paradigm Institute, Bangalore India, 1996 – present Professor at Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR) Senior Expert Engineer at the French National Research Institute in Computer Science and Control [INRIA], Sophia Antipolis, France, 2009-2010 (on sabbatical).
