Anuradha Ravi

Anuradha Ravi is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Information Systems at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). Previously, she served as a Research Scientist at the Living Analytics Research Center, Singapore Management University (2018-2023), and as an Assistant Professor at Shiv Nadar University (2016-2018). She holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, where her doctoral research focused on optimizing energy efficiency and latency reduction for mobile devices through intelligent offloading strategies in heterogeneous networks.

Her research interests span multiple cutting-edge domains in computing and networking:

• Distributed machine intelligence at the edge
• Low-power AI systems for IoT devices
• Indoor localization and occupancy sensing
• Wireless networking protocols
• Mobile and ubiquitous computing
• Smart building management systems

Analysis of her recent publications (2015-2025) reveals a consistent focus on efficiency optimization in constrained environments, with key themes including autonomous robotics, AI-driven compression techniques, multi-sensor localization, and energy-aware mobile systems. Her work increasingly emphasizes real-world applications in contested or resource-limited settings, leveraging machine learning for adaptive solutions.

She actively mentors graduate students at UMBC in projects related to perception systems for unmanned vehicles, compression-aware federated learning, and network middleware development. During her tenure at Shiv Nadar University, she supervised undergraduate research on cooperative IoT strategies and 5G edge computing.

She previously contributed to the Living Analytics Research Center's initiatives in smart building occupancy detection and collaborative machine intelligence frameworks for IoT devices.
