Shrisha Rao

My work is broadly in the areas of artificial intelligence and resource management in complex systems (such as cloud computing, air cargo transport, influencer marketing, international digital trade, and hierarchical organizations); computational sustainability; and bioinformatics.   I have a particular interest in using agent-based modeling and AI techniques to investigate the social effects of individual traits and behaviors—such as cognitive biases, prejudices, panic, ethical and unethical conduct, and mood disorders. In terms of sustainability, my interests are in intelligent transportation systems (particularly using electric vehicles); the design of energy-efficient computational systems (and newer technologies and algorithms); and ways to use energy sources (particularly solar energy) effectively in computing and elsewhere. I also have an interest in studies of zoonotic (especially mosquito-borne) diseases; infectious pathogens and epidemics; as well as non-communicable diseases (especially cancers).
