Dr. Ayush Mishra Receives ACM SIGMETRICS Doctoral Dissertation Award (Runner-Up)

We are proud to announce that Dr. Ayush Mishra (NUS CS PhD '24), currently a Post-doctoral Research Fellow at NUS Computing, has been awarded the ACM SIGMETRICS Doctoral Dissertation Award (Runner-Up). 

Under the guidance of Associate Professor Ben Leong, Ayush's research tackles the challenges of Internet congestion control, focusing on fair bandwidth allocation and preventing potential Internet-wide congestion collapses. His work is a critical step toward improving the Internet's stability and resilience—a vital need in our hyper-connected world. 

Are you curious about the algorithms shaping the Internet today? Ayush’s research sheds light on how congestion control algorithms (CCAs) used by major players like Google, Meta, Akamai, and Cloudflare interact, influence bandwidth sharing, and impact overall Internet performance. 

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Ayush and his mentor for this incredible recognition. As he prepares for his next chapter as a Post-doctoral Research Fellow at ETH Zurich, we look forward to seeing more groundbreaking contributions in the years to come.
