He has authored 11 technical books, holds over 200 U.S. Patents and several children’s books to teach Indian languages.

Education
He received his Bachelor’s in Computer Science from the IIT Kanpur in 1987, doctorate in Computer Networking from University of California, Berkeley in 1992, and master in Management of Technology from Brooklyn Polytechnic in 1998. He joined IBM Thomas J Watson Research Center in 1992. ,.

Technical achievements
During his doctoral years, Dinesh was one of the early members of the Tenet group formed by Prof. Domenico Ferrari. His work with Ferrari on real-time communications in networks was one of the seminal papers for introducing Quality of Service in computer networks and the foundation (Scheme 0) for much of the work for Tenet research group.

After joining IBM Research, Dinesh pioneered critical advances in the area of policy based management, which radically simplified management of computer systems networks industry-wide, IBM storage area network products, and IBM mainframes by application of symbolic AI methods. This work led to his appointment as an IEEE Fellow.

Dinesh was instrumental in IBM getting selected to lead the International Technology Alliance in Network Sciences NIS-ITA. As leader of this trans-Atlantic alliance, he made key contributions to areas of Policy-based Security Management and Quality of Information. . For the successful leadership of the program and improving research collaboration between the military, industrial and academic research groups of the two countries, he was appointed as an International Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering. . Dinesh subsequently led the effort to get IBM selected to lead the DAIS-ITA program which won the 2021 U.S. – UK Science and Technology Stockade UK Team Award.

Dinesh laid the foundation of Edge Computing within IBM. He applied edge computing to telecomm and enterprise computing systems with technologies like federated AI and edge AI model management. He pioneered edge AI solutions like acoustics insights for manufacturing production optimization to augment IBM IoT products and services offerings. Among his many roles at IBM, he has served as the CTO of Edge Computing and the strategist for 6G Communications at IBM ,

He is a member of the IBM Academy of Technology and an IBM Master Inventor.

Public Service
He is currently serving as the Technical Working Group Chair of Enterprise Neurosystems Group, an open source consortium exploring issues in distributed enterprise AI. He served as the chair and vice-chair of the IEEE Technical Committee on Computer Communications and IEEE Computer Society. He was one of the earliest members during the formative stages of Asha for Education. He and his family has authored multiple activity books and easy readers to teach Indian languages to Indian children growing up in America
