Staff profile

I am an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Durham University and a Fellow of Durham Energy Institute. Before this, I worked as a research associate at Newcastle University, a research associate at Thapar University (India), a visiting researcher at the University of Klagenfurt (Austria) and in various academic positions for over a decade. I received my PhD from Thapar University (India) and my Master's and Bachelor's degrees from the Punjab Technical University (India).

I recieved the IEEE TCSC Award for Excellence in Scalable Computing (ECR) 2022 for contributions on research and development of sustainable edge-cloud continuum for resource-constrained smart environments. I also received "Early-Career Award 2022 (Runner-up)" from the IEEE TEMS TC on Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies for contributions to the research and teaching in blockchain and distributed leder technologies. I received the 2018 IEEE TCSC Outstanding PhD Dissertation Award for contributions to designing and developing methods for self-sustainable cloud data centres. I also received 2021 IEEE Systems Journal Best Paper Award for my work 'An Adaptive Grid Frequency Support Mechanism for Energy Management in Cloud Data Centers' and TIET Best Paper Award for my work 'Edge Computing in the Industrial Internet of Things Environment: Software-Defined-Networks-Based Edge-Cloud Interplay'.
