Biography

After undergraduate studies at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi in 1986, he received his PhD in 1991 from the University of California, Berkeley, with a thesis entitled Congestion Control in Computer Networks. His advisor was Domenico Ferrari.[5] He then joined the research staff at Bell Labs; while at Bell Labs, he also had visiting faculty positions at IIT Delhi and Columbia University.[5] In 1996 he became an associate professor at Cornell University;[5] he then left academia in 1999 to co-found Ensim Corporation.[6] In 2003, he joined the faculty at the University of Waterloo, where he held a Canada Research Chair in Tetherless Computing from 2004 to 2014 and a Cisco Systems Chair in Smart Grid from 2012 to 2017.[7]

He is the inventor, along with his students at the University of Waterloo, of KioskNet, a system for providing internet access in impoverished countries.[8] He has been co-director of the Information Systems and Science for Energy (ISS4E) Laboratory at the University of Waterloo since 2010.[9] At the University of Cambridge, Prof. Keshav continues to work on research and teach in areas related to sustainable energy.
