Shankar Sankararaman received his B.S. degree in Civil Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras in India in 2007 and recently obtained his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, U.S.A. in 2012. His dissertation titled “Uncertainty Quantification and Integration in Engineering Systems” focuses on the various aspects of uncertainty quantification in civil, mechanical, and aerospace systems. His research interests include probabilistic methods, risk and reliability analysis, Bayesian networks, system health monitoring, diagnosis and prognosis, decision-making under uncertainty, treatment of epistemic uncertainty, and multidisciplinary analysis. He is a member of Non-Deterministic Approaches (NDA) technical committee at AIAA and a member of Probabilistic Methods Technical Committee (PMC) at ASCE. Currently, Shankar is a researcher with Stinger and Ghaffarian Technologies (SGT Inc.) at NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA, where he develops algorithms for uncertainty assessment and management in the context of system health monitoring, prognostics, and decision-making.
