Personal Life

Balaji, a Tamilian[6] was born in Chennai, India on January 17, 1975 into a family whose both parents were government workers.[1][12] Because his parents were often transferred to different locations for their government jobs, as a child Balaji was exposed to a number of schools across India. But one thing remained constant: his problem understanding scientific subjects because of ineffective teaching. Early in life, he devised his own system of analysis and arriving at solutions.[12]

Education

He completed his B.Tech degree in Electronic Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Madras in 1994,[13][14] and his doctorate in Electronics and communication Engineering from University of Maryland, College Park.[14][15]
