Anuradha Annaswamy
Anuradha M. Annaswamy is a computer scientist noted for her research on adaptive control theory and smart grids. Since 1996, she has worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Currently, Annaswamy is a senior research scientist at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Director of the Active Adaptive Control Laboratory.
Career
Annaswamy received a B.E. degree from Indian Institute of Science in 1979. Following this, she completed a Ph.D in Computer science from Yale University in 1985.In 2014, Annaswamy was awarded a grant, valued at £1,783,855, from the National Science Foundation to lead the project "Towards resilient computational models of electricity-gas ICI", in partnership with colleagues Christopher Knittel and Ignacio Perez-Arriaga.
Annaswamy has published over 500 academic publications, receiving over 18,000 citations. She has an h-index and i10-index of 56 and 210 respectively. Annaswamy's most cited publication, Stable adaptive systems, offers an understanding of the global stability properties essential to designing adaptive systems.
