Kavita Ramanan is a probability theorist who works as a professor of applied mathematics at Brown University.

Education and career

[edit]

Ramanan was born in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India to Anuradha Ramanan and algebraic geometer S. Ramanan.[1] Ramanan earned a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in 1992. She completed her Ph.D. in applied mathematics at Brown University in 1996.[2] Her dissertation, supervised by Paul Dupuis, was Construction and Large Deviation Analysis of Constrained Processes, with Applications to Communication Networks.[3]

After postdoctoral studies at the Technion, she worked at Bell Labs from 1997 to 2002, and as a faculty member in mathematical sciences at Carnegie Mellon University from 2002 to 2009. She returned to Brown as a faculty member in 2010.[2]

Recognition

[edit]

Ramanan won the Erlang Prize of the Applied Probability Society of INFORMS in 2006.[4] She was elected as a fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics in 2013,[5] and elected to the 2018 class of fellows of the American Mathematical Society[6] and the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences.[7] She gave the 2015 Medallion lecture for the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, on "Infinite-dimensional scaling limits of stochastic networks".[8] In 2019, Ramanan was elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).[9] In 2020 she was elected a fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics with the citation "Kavita Ramanan, Brown University, is being recognized for contributions to constrained and reflected processes and stochastic networks."[10]

She received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2020.[11] She was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2021.[12] She was awarded a Distinguished Research Achievement Award from Brown University in 2021,[13] and she was named to the Department of Defense's Class of 2021 Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellows.[14] She was appointed Senior Scholar at the Clay Mathematics Institute January–June 2022.[15]
