Currently, he is working as a Senior Professor (Higher Administrative Group) in Electronics and Communication Engineering and Dean – Research and Development. He held additional responsibilities as Dean of Academics (July 2021 - Sept 2022), Associate Dean - Faculty of Engineering and Technology (Feb 2020 - June 2023), and Head of the School of Electrical/Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering (July 2017 - December 2023) at MIT World Peace University.

With 35 years of experience in teaching and research, he has authored more than 125 research papers in wireless, telecom, and optical networks and edited several conference proceedings and four books. He has four granted patents, and two patents are in the published stage. Since 2007, Dr. Chaudhari has been appointed as a Visiting Scientist (Simons Associate/Regular Associate) to ICTP, a Tier I research organization of UNESCO established by Nobel Laureate Dr. Abdus Salam in Trieste, Italy.

Dr. Chaudhari has successfully executed several research and consultancy projects and accomplished international research collaborations. He has delivered technical talks at various conferences and platforms in different countries. Dr. Chaudhari is a recipient of the 2020 IETE N V Gadadhar Memorial Award for outstanding contribution in fostering research and education, the MAEER Pune’s Ideal Teacher Award 2015, and the Young Scientist Research Grant from the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, in 2003.

Dr. Chaudhari is a Fellow of the Maharashtra Academy of Sciences, IETE and IE (I), the Founder Chair of IEEE Pune Section (R-10), and a Senior Member of IEEE. He also chaired the IEEE Communications Society Pune Chapter. He serves as a Program Evaluator of the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET, United States, for accreditation of computer, communications, and similar engineering programs. He has been part of ABET Teams for onsite accreditation at several U.S. and other foreign Universities. He has also undertaken NAAC accreditation peer team visits to various colleges and Universities in India. He has been on the panel of juries of several prestigious national awards and as a member of multiple committees related to higher education, research, and administration established by various universities/agencies.
