Kalyan Veeramachaneni
Principal Research Scientist
Categories
Kalyan Veeramachaneni is a principal research scientist at MIT’s Institute for Data, Systems, and Society’s Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems, where he heads the Data-to-AI Group. His group focuses on building large-scale AI systems that work alongside humans, continuously learning from data, generating predictions and integrating those predictions into human decision-making. The group develops foundational algorithms, abstractions, and systems to enable these three tasks at scale. Algorithms, systems and open-source software developed by the group are deployed for applications in the financial, medical, and education sectors.
Veeramachaneni is the co-founder of PatternEx, a cybersecurity company that adapts machine learning models based on real-time analyst feedback. He is also the co-founder of Feature Labs, a data science automation company. He was an adviser to EverVest, a company that provided advanced software for analyzing, valuing, and financing renewable energy projects. Veeramachaneni earned an MS in computer engineering and a PhD in philosophy and electrical engineering from Syracuse University.
