He served as Director, then co-Director of the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems between 1991 and 1999. He is currently Professor of Electrical Engineering.
Professor Mitter has held visiting positions at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Bombay, India; Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa, Italy; Imperial College of Science and Technology; Institue National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique, France; University of Groningen, the Netherlands, and several universities in the United States.
Professor Mitter has served on several advisory committees and editorial boards for IEEE, SIAM, AMS, NSF, and ARO. He is currently Associate Editor of Journal of Applied Mathematics and Optimization; SIAM Review; the Ulam Quarterly; and Random and Computational Dynamics. He is a fellow of the IEEE. In 1988 he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering. His personal website can be found at web.mit.edu/~mitter/www/.
Anil Nerode, Founder and Professor of Mathematics, Cornell University
Along with Clearsight Chief Scientist Dr. Wolf Kohn, Dr. Nerode is a founder of Clearsight Systems Inc. and a co-inventor of the hybrid systems mathematical foundations and computational technologies. He continues his work today with Clearsight Systems as an advisory board member.
Dr. Nerode received bachelor of arts, bachelor of science, master's, and doctorate degrees from the University of Chicago in 1949, 1952, 1953, and 1956, respectively. He received his doctorate under Saunders McLane. He spent his postdoctoral years with two of the most renowned logicians of the twentieth century, Alfred Tarski at Berkeley and Kurt Godel at the Institute for Advanced Study. He was invited to Cornell by another respected logician, J. Barkley Rosser, and is now Goldwin Smith Professor of Mathematics at Cornell University, where he has held various key posts, including director of the Center for Applied Mathematics, chair of the Department of Mathematics, director of the Mathematical Sciences Institute, and director of the Center for Foundation of Intelligent Systems.
His academic research in mathematical logic, automata, computability theory, and hybrid systems has had worldwide impact. Professor Nerode has been a senior consultant to military, government, and business research enterprises for nearly 50 years.
For the last decade, he has collaborated with Dr. Kohn and Dr. Jeffrey Remmel on the theory of Multiple Agent Declarative Control, a software system for the real-time implementation of reactive, intelligent, distributed controllers. He has published many books and symposia, and refereed research papers. His personal website can be found at www.math.cornell.edu/~anil.
Jeffrey B. Remmel, Adviser and Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science, Associate Dean of the Division of Physical Sciences, University of California
Dr. Remmel is a professor of mathematics and computer science at the University of California at San Diego, where he serves as the associate dean of the Division of Physical Sciences. For the last eight years, Professor Remmel has worked closely with Dr. Kohn and Professor Nerode on the theory of hybrid systems.
Dr. Remmel received a bachelor's degree from Swarthmore College in 1970 and a master's and PhD in pure mathematics from Cornell University in 1972 and 1974, respectively. He has published more than 170 refereed papers in combinatorics, computer science, logic, and hybrid systems and has edited four books. He has organized or co-organized conferences in all four areas and is on the editorial board of several journals.His personal website can be found at www.math.ucsd.edu/~remmel/.
