Nitinder Mohan is a tenured Assistant Professor in the Networked Systems Group at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands. He directs the SPEAR Lab (Systems and Protocols for Edge-Enabled Internet), focusing on edge computing, next-generation network protocols, Internet-wide measurements, and critical application management.
Prior to joining TU Delft, Nitinder was a Senior Researcher at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Helsinki, Finland in 2019, where his dissertation was awarded the IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC) Outstanding Ph.D. Dissertation Award 2020.
His research has been awarded with several awards such as "Outstanding Ph.D. Dissertation Award 2020" by the IEEE TCSC, IETF/IRTF Applied Networking Research Prize, and several best paper awards at IEEE and ACM venues. Nitinder is co-founder of Oakestra, an open-source orchestration framework for edge computing that is used by research groups and companies globally. His research has been featured in international media outlets including Rest of World News, Deutsche Welle, KIJK Magazine and more.
