Ratul Mahajan is an Associate Professor at the University of
Washington (Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science). He is also the co-director of UW FOCI (Future of Cloud Infrastructure) and an Amazon Scholar. Prior to that, he
was a Co-founder and CEO of Intentionet, a company that pioneered
intent-based networking and network verification, and a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research. He got his PhD at the University of Washington and B.Tech at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, both in Computer Science and
Engineering.
Ratul is a computer systems researcher with a networking focus and has worked on a broad set of topics, including
network verification, connected homes, network programming, optical networks, Internet routing and measurements,
and mobile systems. He has published over fifty papers in top venues such as SIGCOMM, SOSP, MobiCom, CHI, and
PLDI, and many of the technologies that he has helped develop are part of real-world systems at Microsoft and
other companies.
Ratul has been recognized as an ACM Distinguished Scientist, an ACM SIGCOMM Rising Star, and a Microsoft Research
Graduate Fellow. His papers have won the ACM SIGCOMM Test-of-Time Award, the IEEE William R. Bennett Prize, the
ACM SIGCOMM Best Paper Awards (twice), and the HVC Best Paper Award.
