Dr. Sunita Lodwig has been in the corporate arena for the last twenty years (13 with AT&T Bell Labs – prior to its becoming Lucent – and 7 with Motorola most recently) in the field of Telecommunications. Her technical background covers a wide range – from defining strategy, technical marketing, project/product management, and globalization issues, to cutting edge software architecture, requirements, design, development and delivery.

 Prior to this, Dr. Lodwig was an Assistant Professor at Northern Illinois University (NIU) in the Computer Science department for two and half years. Her teaching experience, albeit short, was memorable and enjoyable. The interactions and rapport with students were especially important, and Dr. Lodwig was considered a good teacher presenting complex concepts in a simple easy-to-understand manner. Needless to say, even as she left NIU and joined Bell Labs, Dr. Lodwig looked forward to the day she would return to academia.

 Very briefly, Dr. Lodwig's experience includes: 

• Teaching Computer Science curriculum at the graduate and undergraduate levels
• Extensive software testing and networks - quite a few of the projects worked on related to the convergence of networks, wireline and wireless, as well as voice/data. In the testing area, focus was primarily on simulators and test automation
• Turning around projects deemed unsavable
• SEI Level 5 focus on quality
• Global Project Management, Product Management, Technical Marketing
•  Direction setting and strategizing
• Twenty years experience in Corporate America during Telecommunications most turbulent times!
