Professor Sujay Sanghavi Receives NSF Career Award
WNCG Assistant Prof. Sujay Sanghavi was chosen as a recipient of this year's National Science Foundation CAREER award. The NSF Faculty Early Career Development Award (CAREER) recognizes promising young (untenured) faculty members and provides funding to support their research over a 5 year period. Prof. Sanghavi's award was in the amount of $425,000 for his proposal of "Networks and Statistical Inference: new connections and Algorithms."
This research will significantly impact both how we control large-scale networks, and interpret the high-dimensional data they generate. By providing a common algorithmic language, based on Markov Random Fields, it will facilitate the easy migration of techniques across fields. Industry will continuously influence and absorb this research, via the WNCG industrial affiliates program at UT.
