Suri did his undergraduate studies at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, graduating in 1981. He then worked as a programmer in India before beginning his graduate studies in 1984 at Johns Hopkins University, where he earned a Ph.D. in computer science in 1987 under the supervision of Joseph O'Rourke. He was a member of the technical staff at Bellcore until 1994, when he returned to academia as an associate professor at Washington University in St. Louis. He moved to a full professorship at UCSB in 2000.[1]
He was program committee chair for the 7th Annual International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation in 1996,[1] and program committee co-chair for the 18th ACM Symposium on Computational Geometry in 2002.[2]
