Research
Ravishankar Iyer leads the DEPEND Group at the Coordinated Science Laboratory (CSL), with a multidisciplinary focus on systems and software that combine deep measurement-driven analytics and machine learning with applications in two important domains: trust (that spans resilience and the security of critical infrastructures) and health (that spans computational genomics and health analytics focused on personalized medicine). The DEPEND Group has developed a rich AI analytics framework that has been deployed on real-world applications in collaborations with industry, health providers, and government agencies including NSF, NIH, and DoD. Iyer directs the Illinois/Mayo NSF Center for Computational Biotechnology and Genomic Medicine (CCBGM).
