Dr. Ratnesh Kumar (birthdate – death) is a Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the Iowa State University since 2002. Prior to this, he held faculty position at the University of Kentucky (1991-2002) in ECE, and also held visiting positions in academia, research labs as well as industry: University of Maryland (1992/94), NASA Ames Research Center (1996), Applied Research Laboratory at Penn State Univ. (1997-98), Idaho National Laboratory (2001), United Technologies Research Center (2008-09), GE Research (Summer 2015), and Wright Patterson Air Force Research Laboratory (2016-17). He received B.Tech. in Electrical Eng. from Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur in 1987, and M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical & Computer Engineering from the Univ. of Texas, Austin in 1989 and 1991, respectively. Prof. Kumar has received the Gold Medals for the Best EE Undergrad and the Best All Rounder, both from IIT Kanpur, and the Best Dissertation Award from UT Austin. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Control Systems Society, Best Paper Award recipient from IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering, and Best Paper Finalist at IEEE ICNSC (Int. Conf. on Networking, Sensing and Control), and also IEEE Sensors Conference. Prof. Kumar directs the ESSeNCE (Embedded Software, Sensors, Networks, Cyber-physical, and Energy) Lab, and his research spans multi-disciplinary topics of model-based design of cyber physical systems, embedded software and formal methods, data-analytics, devices for sensing and energy harvesting along with their networks, and with applications to aeronautics, automotive, automation/manufacturing, cyber-security, web-services, recommendation systems, power systems, agriculture, and biomedical domains. Prof. Kumar is or has been an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems, IET Cyber-Physical Systems: Theory & Applications, SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation, Journal of Discrete Event Dynamical Systems, IEEE Control Systems Society, IEEE Robotics and Automation Systems Society, IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society, and IEEE Workshop on Software Cybernetics.
