Draft:Suyash Sinha

Suyash Sinha is an Indian American computer scientist, engineer, scholar. , inventor and entrepreneur with notable contributions  to the field of computer science. His work has been cited over thousand times

Inventor
As an inventor, Suyash has been granted patents across a broad spectrum of core computer science technology areas:


 * hypervisors, x86 virtualization working with other notable contributors like Dave Cutler.
 * kernel and operating systems
 * storage systems
 * distributed systems
 * cloud computing
 * datacenters
 * networking and system security

Microsoft Hypervisor and X86 Virtualization
Suyash led the engineering and development for Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor's v1 release from Microsoft Corporation's HQ in Redmond, WA. The hypervisor leverage the microprocessor-level virtualization extensions in Intel and AMD processor architectures (x86 virtualization). The release of the Microsoft hypervisor was instrumental in building the virtualization capability in Windows Server positioning the company as one of top three hypervisor providers in the world alongside Linux KVM and VMWare ESX. The hypervisor is also a critical component of Microsoft Azure cloud.

Microsoft Windows Kernel and Operating System
Suyash was the first person of Indian origin selected to lead the Microsoft Windows core kernel team after the success of Microsoft Hypervisor launch. During his leadership, several fundamental improvements (like MinWin) were made to the Windows Kernel leading to highly successful Windows 7, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2 product launches which shared this common kernel.

Windows Application Platform
Suyash led the engineering for Windows Application Platform which led to a new way of building Windows applications using open web technologies like HTML and Javascript opening the door for millions of web developers to create native applications. Such applications would co-exist alongside traditional Win32/WoW64 applications while ensuring compatibility. The launch of this new application platform was completed in Windows 8.

Computer Science Research
Suyash served as a Director in eXtreme Computing Group (XCG) at Microsoft Research alongside other renowned computer scientists like Dan Reed, Dennis Gannon and Rick Rashid.
