Mahadev Satyanarayanan is an American experimental computer scientist, an ACM [2] and IEEE [3] fellow, a member of the National Academy of Engineering, and the Jaime Carbonell University Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). [4] [5]

He is credited with advances in mobile computing, edge computing, Internet of Things and the distributed systems. [6] [7] [8] He is known for publishing the first paper on the topic of edge computing, “The Case for VM-Based Cloudlets in Mobile Computing” in 2009. [8] [9] He is also known for publishing the first paper (in 1997) on offloading AI tasks such as speech recognition from resource-poor mobile devices to resource-rich infrastructure [10] [11] -More details on his technical contributions can be found on his web site. [12]

In 2025, he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering. [13]
