Varsha Apte is currently an associate professor with the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, India. She did Bachelors in Mathematics from Mumbai University in 1987, followed by Masters in Computer Science from Pune University, in 1989. She completed her PhD in Computer Science from Duke University in 1994.

Her core interest and expertise is in solving performance modeling and management problems using Queuing Systems and other Stochastic Models. Whenever possible she prefers applying rigourous analytical techniques for analysis and control of performance, rather then empirical techiniques. She likes to build tools that facilitate and simplify the process of applying such techniques. Over the last nearly 20 years, She has worked in overload control of Web servers, Wireless LAN performance models, control theoretic QoS control of Wireless LAN and Web servers, performance modeling and measurement multi-tier data center applications.
