Ramyaa

Ramyaa is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at New Mexico Tech. Her research focuses on the intersection of computation, logic, and emerging models of computation, including implicit complexity theory and biologically inspired neural networks. She also explores machine learning applications in real-world problems and interpretable AI.

Education: Ph.D. in Computer Science, with a focus on theoretical foundations.

Research Interests: Implicit complexity (relating logical complexity to computational resource constraints), formalization of computational models (e.g., biological neural networks), machine learning (including neural network training, adversarial robustness, and program synthesis), and applications in healthcare, security, and education. Her work emphasizes adaptable complexity measures for novel computational frameworks.

Recent Trends in Publications: Recent work includes reinforcement learning for astrophysical data workflows, biologically inspired sleep algorithms for neural networks, and machine learning applications in nutritional epidemiology. She also explores educational technology, such as games for teaching logic and interactive programming tutorials.

Grants & Advising: Advises research in machine learning, theoretical computer science, and interdisciplinary applications. Active in grant-seeking for projects at the intersection of theory and applications. No listed students, but collaborates widely with researchers globally.

Affiliations: Fellow at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing (Berkeley), organizer of conferences like ICALT and CSR, and contributor to initiatives like WiCS at NMT. Teaches courses in formal languages, automata theory, and reinforcement learning.
