At Girton College, by Nicole Keshav, 2024

I am the Robert Sansom Professor of Computer Science in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at the University of Cambridge and a Professorial Fellow at Fitzwilliam College. I am also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, ACM, and IEEE.

Pronunciation: Srinivasan Keshav (Keshav is my given name).

Current work: Although I started out as a researcher in computer networking in 1988, since 2010 my focus has been on using computer science for sustainability. I have worked on reducing the carbon footprint of legacy systems such as energy generation, transportation, and building. For the past five years, I have also worked on analysis of remote sensing data, primarily for avoiding deforestation of tropical forests. Here is a more detailed list and updated list of what I am currently working on.

Part II/ACS Projects: I am on sabbatical during AY 25-26 and, therefore, not supervising Part II or ACS projects.
