Anuradha Annaswamy is founder and director of the Active-Adaptive Control Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MIT.  Her research interests span adaptive control theory and its applications to aerospace, automotive, propulsion, and energy systems as well as cyber physical systems such as Smart Grids, Smart Cities, and Smart Infrastructures. She has received best paper awards (Axelby, 1986; CSM, 2010), as well as Distinguished Member and Distinguished Lecturer awards from the IEEE Control Systems Society, best paper award from the IFAC journal Annual Reviews in Control for 2021-23, and a Presidential Young Investigator award from NSF, 1991-97. She is a Fellow of IEEE and International Federation of Automatic Control. She is the recipient of the Distinguished Alumni award from Indian Institute of Science.

Prof. Annaswamy is the author of a graduate textbook on adaptive control, a coauthor of a 2021 report on Future of Electric Power in the United States, and a 2023 report on the Role of Net-metering in the Evolving Electricity System, both published by National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. She served as the President of CSS in 2020. She has been serving as a Faculty Lead in the Electric Power Systems workstream in the MIT Future Energy Systems Center since September 2021.

Prof. Annaswamy has served as the Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control and Automatica. She has served as the Editor in Chief of a Special Issue on Control Theory and Technology in the IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, and as a Guest Editor on Smart City Networks in the IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems. She is on the editorial board of the IEEE Open Journal of Control Systems, IEEE Access, the IFAC Annual Reviews in Control, and Asian Journal of Control. She has served as the Deputy Editor of Annual Reviews in Control from 2016-2020. With Tariq Samad, she co-edited the CSS report on Impact of Control Technology (first edition: 2011; second edition 2013). With Karl Johansson and George Pappas, she edited the CSS report “Control for societal-scale Challenges: Road Map 2030,” published in 2023. She is currently serving as the President-elect of the American Automatic Control Council. She will serve as the Editor in Chief of IEEE Control Systems magazine from January 2025.
