In 2008, Mills was elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). In 2013 he received the IEEE Internet Award "For significant leadership and sustained contributions in the research, development, standardization, and deployment of quality time synchronization capabilities for the Internet."〔("IEEE Internet Award Recipients: 2013 - David Mills" ), IEEE Web site, accessed 27 January 2013〕 Currently, Dr. Mills is an emeritus professor at the University of Delaware, where he was a full professor from 1986 to 2008.
