Computer science professor, Pavithra Prabhakar, awarded major grants from NASA and NSF

Prabhakar funded by NSF for research on artificial intelligence-based cyber-physical systems
Pavithra Prabhakar, associate professor and Peggy and Gary Edwards chair in engineering in the computer science department at Kansas State University, has been awarded $450,000 from the National Science Foundation to work on artificial intelligence-based controllers in the three-year project, "Scalable Formal Verification of ANN Controlled Cyber-Physical Systems."

Prabhakar to lead on NASA grant to design certifiable, intelligent aerospace control systems
With an immediate need for intelligent and robust aircraft controllers resilient to mid-air disturbances such as wind, turbulence and sensor noise, NASA has provided a $750,000 grant to a team of Kansas researchers, led by Pavithra Prabhakar, associate professor in computer science, for development of certified, artificial intelligence-based controllers for aerospace systems.
