Dr. Iyengar has participated in and contributed to many scientific inquiries through collaboration with either individuals or groups in National Laboratories, Technological Institutions, and other research centers.

Startup Companies

• Dr. Iyengar invented the Cognitive Information Management Shell, a complex event processing architecture and engine that innovatively combines automated agent synthesis with machine learning-based agile analytics and distributed databases. This shell introduced a new paradigm for combining machine learning with expert knowledge and human input. This shell could prove to be the most important advance in complex event processing technology in decades.


• In collaboration with Morph2O and Indian Agricultural Research Institute, Dr. Iyengar led the engineering team at NuLogix Labs, a start up company that he founded in 2010 to commercialize this technology and lead its deployment in the agricultural domain in India and the United States.


• The system Dr. Iyengar and his team developed provides soil and water management information for precise agriculture with an ability to deal with unpredictable environmental conditions. It receives data from ground sensors and satellite imagery to both proactively and reactively provide analytics and control for irrigation, fertilization, yield management, etc.


• Beginning in 2010, NuLogix has recieved grants totaling over $500,000 from several nongovernmental organizations in developing countries to deploy this technology. This system will provide a convergent platform that provides wide area analytics for several hundred governmental and nongovernmental organizations in the developing world.
