While at Wayne State University, Sherali Zeadally was the Founder and Director of the High-Speed Networking Laboratory. In 2001, he received the College of Science Excellence in Teaching Award. In 2003, he received a second College of Science Excellence in Teaching Award. In 2004, he received the University-wide President's Award for Excellence in Teaching (highest award presented annually by the University for Outstanding teaching).

In February 2006, Sherali Zeadally joined the Department of Computer Science and Information Technology at the University of the District of Columbia where he is an Associate Professor. In 2008, he received an Outstanding Faculty Award for Graduate Research from the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University of the District of Columbia. He also received the Boeing Welliver Faculty Fellowship from the Boeing Company in 2008.

He is the Founder of the NEtwork Systems laboraTory (NEST) at the University of the District of Columbia.

In 2004, he received an Outstanding Recognition for his contributions to the International Association of Science and Technology for Development (IASTED) Society, Calgary, Canada.

His research has been funded by NSF, NASA, HP, Microsoft, Compaq, IBM, Intel, Sun Microsystems, Ixia Corporation, and others.
