He was a Senior Consulting Engineer at Digital Equipment Corporation in Littleton, Mass and then a professor of Computer and Information Sciences at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.

He is the author or editor of 10 books including `` Art of Computer Systems Performance Analysis,'' which won the 1991 ``Best-Advanced How-to Book, Systems'' award from Computer Press Association and " High-Performance TCP/IP: Concepts, Issues, and Solutions," published by Prentice Hall in November 2003. He is a co-editor of " Quality of Service Architectures for Wireless Networks: Performance Metrics and Management," published in April 2010.

Prof. Jain has 14 patents, and has written 15 book chapters, 55+ journal and magazine papers and 95+ conference papers. His papers have been widely referenced and he is known for his research on congestion control and avoidance, traffic modeling, performance analysis, and error analysis. Google Scholar lists over 15000+ citations to his publications. He is a co-inventor of the DECbit scheme, which has been implemented in various forms in DECnet, OSI, Frame Relay, and ATM Networks. His team has developed several switch algorithms for explicit rate-based congestion avoidance in ATM networks.

A distinguishing factor of his research is its relevance to the Industry. As a faculty member, Dr. Jain actively participates in industry forums like WiMAX Forum, IEEE Standards group, ATM Forum and Internet Engineering Task Force and has made over 200 contributions that ensured that his research was implemented and not just published as papers. Based on his active participation in the computer industry, Dr. Jain was awarded 1999 siliconindia Leadership Awards for Excellence and Promise in Business and Technology.

Raj Jain serves on the advisory board of InBay Technology Solutions, Inc, San Jose, CA. In the past, he has served on the Board of Technical Advisors to a dozen Silicon Valley start ups including Nexabit Networks, Westborough, MA acquired by Lucent Corporation. (March 1997-1999), Amber Networks, Fremont, CA acquired by Nokia (1999-2001).

He is one of the keynote speakers at upcoming ICC 2012. In the past, he was the keynote speaker at ADCONS 2012, SBRC 2011, COMSNETS 2011, ANTS 2010, MICS 2010, ADCOM 2009, NBiS 2009, NetArch 2009, ICON 2008, ACM Multimedia 2008, ICCBN 2008, ICCCE 2008, AccessNets 2007, and a dozen other conferences. He has served in the program committees of over 180+ conferences.

He is on the Editorial Boards of Recent Patents on Telecommunications, Journal of High Speed Networks (USA), Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET), International Journal of Virtual Technology and Multimedia (IJVTM) (UK), International Journal of Wireless and Optical Communications (IJWOC), and International Journal of Communication Networks and Distributed Systems (IJCNDS), ICST Transactions on Mobile Communications and Applications, Journal of Telecommunication System and Management (JTSM), and on the advisory boards of Global Science and Technology Forum (GSTF), Singapore, Central European Journal of Computer Science (Poland) and Journal of Communications (Finland).

He has served as a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Communications Society (1997, 1999-2006), ACM Lecturer (1991-97), IEEE Computer Society Distinguished Visitor (1993-96), Vice-Chair of ACM SIGCOMM (1991-95), Chair of TIA/SCD/CIS Working Group on ATM Traffic Management (1996-1998), Editor of the WiMAX Forum System Evaluation Methodology (2005-2008), Editor of ATM Forum Performance Testing Specification (1996-1998).
