Venkat Venkatasubramanian

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.{{cite web |title=Venkat Venkatasubramanian - Our People - Purdue Engineering |url=https://engineering.purdue.edu/Engr/People/ptProfile?resource_id=12356 |website=College of Engineering - Purdue University |language=en}} He later joined Columbia University, where he directs the Complex Resilient Intelligent Systems Laboratory.{{cite web |title=Venkat Venkatasubramanian {{!}} Columbia University School of Professional Studies |url=https://sps.columbia.edu/person/venkat-venkatasubramanian |website=Columbia.edu |language=en}} 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.{{cite web |title=Venkat Venkatasubramanian {{!}} Center for the Management of Systemic Risk |url=https://risk.columbia.edu/people/venkat-venkatasubramanian |website=Columbia.edu}}

In 2019, Venkatasubramanian was awarded the Ngee Ann Kongsi Distinguished Visiting Professorship at the National University of Singapore.{{cite web |title=Indian American Professor Awarded Ngee Ann Kongsi Distinguished Visiting Professorship |url=https://www.theindianpanorama.news/indians-abroad/indian-american-professor-awarded-ngee-ann-kongsi-distinguished-visiting-professorship/ |website=The Indian Panorama |date=29 May 2019}}

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.{{cite web |last1=Venere |first1=Emil |title='Econophysics' points way to fair salaries in free market |url=https://phys.org/news/2010-07-econophysics-fair-salaries-free.html |website=Phys.org |language=en}}
