Dr. G. Nagamani is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at The Gandhigram Rural Institute. She specializes in passivity analysis, neural networks, control theory and fractional calculus. She earned her PhD in mathematics from the same institution for her highly commended thesis on passivity analysis of neural networks with time-varying delays. Her research focuses on nonlinear dynamical systems, fuzzy systems, delayed neural networks and fractional-order models.
Dr. Nagamani has served in academic and research positions for over two decades, including DST-funded Junior and Senior Research Fellowships, and guides doctoral research. Eight PhD scholars have graduated, and she is currently guiding five. Her contributions include numerous publications, international collaborations, editorial activities, and reviewer roles for various journals published by Elsevier, Springer, Taylor & Francis, Wiley, and IEEE (https://scholar.google.com/GN).
Dr. Nagamani has completed funded research projects supported by the University Grants Commission, National Board for Higher Mathematics, and Science and Engineering Research Board. Her distinctions include the Tamil Nadu Young Women Scientist Award, the Overseas Research Professor Fellowship at Kunsan National University, South Korea, and the Best Researcher Award 2024 from The Gandhigram Rural Institute. She has organized several international conferences and workshops in mathematical modelling, machine learning, quantum computing, applied mathematics and has delivered more than 50 invited lectures at national and international academic forums.
As a Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence, Dr. Nagamani will be teaching a course on advanced computational intelligence and engaging with the broader academic community in research-oriented projects on computational intelligence.
