Prashant Shenoy is a Distinguished Professor and Associate Dean in the College of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He has been on the faculty since 1998 and heads the Laboratory for Advanced Systems Software while directing the Center for Smart and Connected Society. His research focuses on systems issues for distributed systems ranging from large server clusters to networks of small sensors. Shenoy received his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin in 1998, following an MS from the same institution in 1994. He earned his BTech in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay in 1993. His academic progression at UMass Amherst has been from Assistant Professor (1998-2004) to Associate Professor (2004-2009) to Professor (2009-2020) to Distinguished Professor (2020-present). His primary research interests include distributed systems, networking, cloud and edge computing, mobile computing and Internet of Things, and energy and sustainability. Over the past decade, his work has increasingly focused on computational decarbonization, as evidenced by his recent $12 million NSF Expedition award in this area. His research group maintains several important resources including the UMass Trace Repository, UMass CS Weather Station, BenchLab, and Smart* Dataset. Shenoy's publications reflect a progression from foundational distributed systems work to increasingly sustainability-focused research. His recent work centers on carbon-aware computing, energy optimization, and computational decarbonization across various computing domains including cloud, edge, and IoT systems. ACM Fellow (2019) AAAS Fellow (2018) IEEE Fellow (2013) ACM Sigmetrics Test of Time Award (2016) NSF Career Award recipient Conti Research Fellowship recipient Lilly Foundation Teaching Fellow As an educator, Shenoy has consistently taught Distributed and Operating Systems (Compsci 677) and has mentored numerous PhD students who have received awards and gone on to successful careers. He serves as the founding Chair of the ACM Special Interest Group on Energy (SIGEnergy) and has organized numerous conferences including serving as PC chairs for the ACM Symposium on Edge Computing in 2025. His research has secured significant funding, including a recent $12 million NSF Expedition in Computational Decarbonization awarded in May 2024. Shenoy leads the Laboratory for Advanced Systems Software at UMass Amherst and directs the Center for Smart and Connected Society. He serves on editorial boards of several journals including ACM Transactions on IOT (TIOT), ACM Modeling and Performance Evaluation of Computing Systems (TOMPECS), and ACM Transactions on the Web (TWEB).
