Education and career

Ramanan is the daughter of Indian algebraic geometer S. Ramanan. She 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.[1] Her dissertation, supervised by Paul Dupuis, was Construction and Large Deviation Analysis of Constrained Processes, with Applications to Communication Networks.[2]

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.[1]

Recognition

Ramanan won the Erlang Prize of the Applied Probability Society of INFORMS in 2006.[3] She was elected as a fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics in 2013,[4] and elected to the 2018 class of fellows of the American Mathematical Society[5] and the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences.[6] She gave the 2015 Medallion lecture for the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, on "Infinite-dimensional scaling limits of stochastic networks".[7] 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."[8] She received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2020.[9]

gollark: I've done so before on larger discord servers and not experienced any domain harvesting.
gollark: Personal. I don't actually have anything to sell.
gollark: I'm thinking either osmw.org, some random 3-letter combination, osmarks.org or possibly another thing.
gollark: I've managed to become mired in indecision picking a permanentish domain name for my stuff. What joy.
gollark: It also synchronises tabs (ish) with my desktop install.
