He has held visiting appointments at UCLA (1983-84),University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands (Fall 1984), Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (Fall 1994) and the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Telecommunications, Paris (1995). From 1985-1988 he was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Columbia University, New York where he was also a member of the Center for Telecommunications Research. From 1988-96 he was a Professor at INRS-Telecommunications, Montreal- a graduate research institute affiliated to the Universite du Quebec as well as held an invited appointment in the Department of Electrical Engineering, McGill University, Montreal. In September 1996 he joined the Department of Mathematics, University of Essex, Colchester, U.K. as Professor of Stochastic Systems and Operational Research. From 1999-2004 he was Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA.  In the Fall of 2004 he joined the University of Waterloo as Professor and holder of a University Research Chair.

He has been a consultant ("expert scientifique") to CNET (France-Telecom) from January 1994 to September 1996. He has been and is involved in many conferences including IEEE INFOCOM, International Teletraffic Congress (ITC) and IFIP Broadband Communication.

He was elected  IEEE Fellow  for "contributions to modeling, control, and performance analysis of networks". He is also a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society and member of the working groups WG6.3 and 7.1 of IFIP. He has received Best Paper Awards at Performance 2015 (Sydney), the International Teletraffic Congress 2015 (ITC27-Ghent), the IEEE INFOCOM2006 (Barcelona) and received the Runner-up award at INFOCOM 1998 (San Francisco).
