William A. Rutledge - Emerson Electric Company Distinguished Professor

Electrical Engineering

 

Jag Sarangapani is a Curators’ Distinguished Professor and Rutledge-Emerson Chair at the Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, MO, USA. He was the Site Director for the graduated NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center on Intelligent Maintenance Systems for 13 years and an Interim Director for Intelligent Systems Center. He also has a courtesy appointment with the Department of Computer Science. He has co-authored 195 peer-reviewed journal articles, around 300 refereed IEEE conference articles, several book chapters, and co-authored five books and two edited books. He holds 21 patents, one defense publication, with several pending. He has supervised the completion of over 33 doctoral students and 31 M.S. thesis students. His research funding is in excess of $20 million dollars (his shared credit over $11 million) from NSF, NASA, AFOSR, ARO, ONR, AFRL, Boeing, Honeywell, Sandia and from other companies. His current research interests include learning, adaptation, decision making and control, networked control systems/cyber physical systems, prognostics/bigdata, and autonomous systems/robotics with healthcare applications.  He served/serving on various editorial boards and as a co-editor for the IET Book series on Control.
