C. Mohan

Mohan received his PhD in computer science from the University of Texas at Austin in 1981. He received a B.Tech. in chemical engineering from IIT Madras in 1977. He had his pre-college education in Vellore, Tamil Nadu.

After finishing his PhD in the database area in December 1981, Mohan joined IBM Research in San Jose, working on projects like R*, Starburst, Exotica, and DBCache.{{cite journal|last1=Winslett|first1=Marianne|title=C.

However, this material is fundamental, so it is important to understand." In the ACM SIGMOD Record series called Reminiscences on Influential Papers, with reference to the ARIES paper, Prof. Betty Salzberg of Northeastern University has said: "The ARIES paper was important for me because it enabled me to envision the mechanisms of recovery in database systems clearly. ...
