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