Anuradha M. Annaswamy

Short CV

Anuradha M. Annaswamy received her B.Sc. in mathematics from Madras University in 1976, her B.E. in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Science in 1979, and her M.S. and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Yale University in 1980 and 1985. She started her academic carrier by joining the Yale University as a Post Doc Fellow/Lecturer and a Visiting Assistant Professor. From 1988 to 1991 Annaswamy was working as an Assistant Professor in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at Boston University. She came to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1991 as an Associate Professor. Today, Annaswamy is a Senior Research Scientist and Director of the Active Adaptive Control Lab at the MIT. Additionally, she is a panellist for the National Science Foundation, a member of the American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics, and a Fellow of the Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers. She has served as an Associate Editor of several journals including IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control and Automatica. She has also been appointed as the General Chair of the 2008 American Control Conference, the Program Chair of the 2003 American Control Conference, and as a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Control Systems in 2002.
