[[File:Student Activities Center, IIT Madras.jpg|thumb|235px|Student Activities Center, IIT Madras]]
Y. Shanti Pavan, born on the first day of June 1973, did his graduate studies in electronics and communication engineering at the [[Indian Institute of Technology Madras|Indian Institute of Technology, Madras]] from where he earned a BTech in 1995 and moved to the US to pursue his higher studies. Joining [[Columbia University]], he secured a master's degree in 1997 and followed it up with a PhD in 1999.<ref name="Pavan on INAE">{{Cite web |url=https://inae.in/expert-search/index.php/shanthi-pavan |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151008183435/http://inae.in/expert-search/index.php/shanthi-pavan |url-status=dead |archive-date=8 October 2015 |title=Pavan on INAE |date=2017 |publisher=Indian National Academy of Engineering }}</ref> His postdoctoral studies were at [[Texas Instruments]] at their [[Warren, New York|Warren]] centre and in 2000, he started his career at Big Bear Networks, [[Sunnyvale, California|Sunnyvale]].<ref name="Pavan on IITM">{{Cite web |url=http://www.ee.iitm.ac.in/~shanthi/miscellaneous.html |title=Pavan on IITM |date=2017 |publisher=IIT Madras}}</ref> Returning to India in 2002, he joined his alma mater, IIT Madras, as a member of faculty and serves as a professor at the department of electrical engineering.<ref name="Home page on IITM">{{Cite web |url=http://www.ee.iitm.ac.in/~shanthi/faculty.html |title=Home page on IITM |date=2017 |publisher=IIT Madras}}</ref>
