Srinivasan Keshav is the Robert Sansom Professor of Computer Science at the University of Cambridge. Over four decades, his research has broadened from computer networking to energy informatics and Earth system science, combining mathematical rigour with practical societal benefit. His current work lies broadly at the intersection of computer science and sustainability.
His doctoral work established the foundations for fairness and flow control in the Internet. He subsequently helped to found the academic discipline of energy informatics and shape smart-grid research. He now co-leads the TESSERA project, a foundation model applying self-supervised learning to global Earth observation in support of ecologists, plant scientists, and policy makers.
Keshav is the author of two widely used graduate networking textbooks. His honours include the Sakrison Prize, the inaugural Achievement Award from the ACM Special Interest Group in Energy Systems and Informatics, and Fellowships of the Royal Society of Canada, the IEEE, and the ACM.
