T. V. Raman, Curriculum Vitae
5in
Summary
I am an accomplished Computer Scientist with over 8 years
of industry experience in advanced technology development. During
this time, I have authored 2 books and filed over
20 patents; my work on auditory interfaces was profiled in the
September 1996 issue of Scientific American. I have leading
edge expertise in auditory interfaces, scripting languages,
Internet technologies including Web server applications and Web
standards. I participate in numerous W3C working groups and
authored Aural CSS (ACSS); in 1996 I wrote the first ACSS
implementation. I have been actively participating in defining XML
specifications for the next generation WWW including XForms, XML
Events and voice browsers.
Objective
Develop technologies that drive the future of the Web towards
eyes-free, ubiquitous information access. Speech is the next
natural dimension in user interfaces, and I am developing products
that combine speech technologies with the power of the Web to
deliver innovative aplications that are available anytime,
anywhere.

Other Interests
My favorite hobby is recreational
mathematics. I enjoy working on puzzles, especially those that
involve an intuitive feel for mathematics. One of the things I
enjoyed doing the most in the early eighties was to solve the
Rubik's cube faster than anyone else around me, on an
average of about thirty seconds! I am also interested in
linguistics and can speak about eight languages, including
French, German and several Indian languages.
