My awards include the Director's Gold Medal at IIT Delhi, a Sloan Fellowship, the Sakrison Prize, two Test of Time awards from ACM SIGCOMM, and Best Paper awards at ACM SIGCOMM and ACM MOBICOM. I am the author of two graduate textbooks on computer networking. I served as Chair of ACM SIGCOMM from 2013 to 2017 and as Associate Dean of Graduate Studies in the Faculty of Mathematics from 2015 to 2017.
