Venkat Venkatasubramanian is the Samuel Ruben-Peter G. Viele Professor of Engineering in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Columbia University. He is also an affiliated professor in the departments of Computer Science and Industrial Engineering and Operations Research at Columbia University.
Academic career
[edit]After completing his postdoctoral research with Geoffrey Hinton in the Department of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University in 1983–1984, Venkatasubramanian joined the faculty at Purdue University. Over his two-decade tenure at Purdue, he became the Reilly Professor of Chemical Engineering in 2011.[1] He later joined Columbia University, where he directs the Complex Resilient Intelligent Systems Laboratory.[2] He is also the founding co-director of the Center for the Management of Systemic Risk (CMSR), an interdisciplinary initiative involving faculty from multiple departments at Columbia.[3]
In 2019, Venkatasubramanian was awarded the Ngee Ann Kongsi Distinguished Visiting Professorship at the National University of Singapore.[4]
Research and teaching
[edit]Venkatasubramanian specializes in complex dynamical systems, focusing on the mathematical modeling of structure, function, and behavior in various domains. His research interests span artificial intelligence (AI), systems engineering, theoretical physics, and economics, with a particular emphasis on understanding complexity and emergent behavior.[5]
