Informatics:
Machine Learning and Data Analysis
Investigators:
Chakravarthy Mynampati
Kalyan
Manoj Kandpal
Prem Krishnan
The focus of our research is in
developing new methods for classification and
modeling of chemical and biological data sets. Of
particular interest is the development of effective
and scalable methods to build robust model based
classifiers. We have also developed new approaches
for variable subset selection for classification and
regression problems.

Control:
Biomedical Applications
Investigator:
Yelneedi Sreenivas
(Co-supervised by Prof. G.P. Rangaiah)
Sreenivas is working in the area
of adaptive fault tolerant control of multivariable
systems with particular focus on the control of
anesthesia. Efforts are under way in modeling as
well as in the development of control algorithms.
Investigator:
May Su Tun
(Co-supervised by Prof. G.P. Rangaiah)
The development of a decision
support system for insulin delivery to diabetes
patients in a hospital is the prime focus of May
Su's research. Model development, parameter
estimation and the synthesis of robust control
algorithms are some of the areas covered in this
research.
Investigator:
