He and Foster are winners of the British Computer Society's Lovelace Medal for their grid work. He is institute fellow at the University of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute and a professor in the Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, at the University of Southern California.

Kesselman co-led the Globus Toolkit project, core technologies for computational grid systems in the areas of resource location, resource allocation, computer security, data communication, and data access. He described a Globus testbed called GUSTO in 1997.^[2]

He was elected as an ACM Fellow in 2017^[3] and was awarded (with Ian Foster) the IEEE Computer Society Harry H Goode Memorial Award^[4] (2020) and IEEE Internet Award (2023).
