Credentials
Dr. Subrahmanian is the designer of the first widely
recognized architecture for reasoning about groups situated in diverse
cultures. He built award winning systems to extract knowledge about any
entity or group in the world (the STORY system) as well as to integrate
multiple data, knowledge and software sources. His OASYS system for identifying
the intensity of opinion in news sources in multiple languages won Computerworld
Magazine’s prestigious 2006 Horizon Awards. In addition, Prof. Subrahmanian
developed the foundations of scalable probabilistic prediction and reasoning,
and activity identification in large scale databases. He has developed
some of the first algorithms to built behavioral models of cultural groups
and predict what they will do. His well known IMPACT agent system ties
together diverse software modules and data sources in a unified way.
He has previous served as a member of the Executive Advisory Council for
the DARPA Advanced Logistics Program (ALP), and as an Ad-hoc Member of
the US Air Force Science Advisory Board. He is listed on ISIHighlycited.com
– a web site that lists approximately the top 250 scientists in
each of several scientific disciplines. He received NSF’s National
Young Investigator Award and was named a Distinguished Young Scientist
by the Maryland Academy of Sciences. He also serves on the Board of Directors
of the Development Gateway Foundation – an organization founded
by the World Bank to promote the use of IT for improving the quality of
governance and life in developing countries.
Dr. Subrahmanian has published over 125 refereed
journal and conference papers and has served on the editorial board of
various international Journals. He has given numerous invited talks at
natiional and international conferences.
