Dr. Rajive Bagrodia is the founder and CEO of Scalable Network Technologies. He created SNT in 1999 in the wake of significant innovations his research group achieved in the theory and practice of performance prediction for complex, large-scale computer and communication systems.

Dr. Bagrodia obtained a Bachelor of Technology in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay and PhD degree in computer science from the University of Texas at Austin.

Dr. Bagrodia has published over 150 research papers in Computer Science journals and at international conferences on high performance computing, wireless networking, and parallel simulation. He has also served as a Professor of Computer Science at UCLA, where he leads a research group in mobile computing and parallel and distributed programming that produced simulation systems such as Maisie, Parsec, and GloMoSim.

The GloMoSim library for simulation of large, mobile ad hoc networks was part of DOMAINS, a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) funded project at UCLA. Qualnet grew out of ideas developed in this project.
