Research Interests
Prof. Priya Narasimhan is an Associate Professor with the Electrical & Computer Engineering Department, and Director of the CyLab Mobility Research Center, at Carnegie Mellon University. Her research interests lie in the fields of dependable distributed systems, embedded systems and mobile systems. Her research has earned her a Alfred Sloan Fellowship, the 2009 Carnegie Science Center's Emerging Female Scientist Award, an NSF CAREER Award, a Best Paper Award, the 2001 UCSB Lancaster Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award and two IBM Faculty Partnership Awards. Her teaching earned her the 2008 Eta Kappa Nu (Carnegie Mellon Sigma Chapter) Excellence in Teaching Award.
She is the President and Founder of YinzCam, Inc., a company focused on mobile live streaming and experiential technologies for live events. She has also previously served as the CTO and, later, the VP of Engineering of Eternal Systems, Inc., a startup company that commercialized the results of her Ph.D. research to develop and sell 24x7 highly available platforms and solutions. Her research greatly influenced the development of the Fault Tolerant CORBA industrial standard.
She teaches the junior-level and senior-level capstone undergraduate Embedded Real-Time Systems courses. She also started a new graduate-level course on Sports Technology at Carnegie Mellon University.
Her spare time is devoted to to watching professional (American) football games. She is a rabid fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Let's go, Pens! Here we go, Steelers!
