Brief Bio
S.S. Iyengar is currently the Roy Paul Daniels Professor and Chairman of the Computer Science Department at Louisiana State University. He heads the Wireless Sensor Networks Laboratory and the Robotics Research Laboratory at LSU. Since receiving his Ph.D. degree in 1974 from MSU, USA. He has directed over 42 Ph.D. students and 100 Master’s students, many of whom are faculty at Major Universities worldwide or Scientists or Engineers at National Labs/Industries around the world.
Dr.Iyengar, a computer scientist of international repute, is a pioneer in the field of distributed
sensor networks, computational aspects of robotics, and oceanographic applications. Dr. Iyengar
is best known for introducing novel data structures and algorithmic techniques for large scale
computations in sensor technologies and image processing applications.
He has published more than 400 research papers and has authored/co-authored 8 books and edited 10 books. His books are published by John Wiley & Sons, CRC Press, Prentice Hall, Springer Verlag, IEEE Computer Society Press etc. One of his books titled "Introduction to Parallel Algorithms" has been translated to Chinese.
His research has been funded by National Science Foundation (NSF), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Multi-University Research Initiative (MURI Program),
Office of Naval Research (ONR), Department of Energy / Oak Ridge National Laboratory (DOE/ORNL), Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), US Army Research Office (URO) and various state agencies and companies. He has served on US National Science Foundation and National Institute of Health Panels to review proposals in various aspects of Computational Science and has been involved as and external evaluator (ABET-accreditation) for several Computer Science and Engineering Departments.
Further, Iyengar is the founding Editor-In-Chief of the International Journal of Distributed
Sensor Networks and has been an Associate Editor for IEEE Transaction on Computers, IEEE
Transactions on Data and Knowledge Engineering, and guest Editor of IEEE Computer
Magazine. He has been an editorial member of many IEEE journals in advisory roles.
