Iyengar) is a computer scientist and the Distinguished University Professor, Ryder Professor and Director of Computer Science at [[Florida International University]], [[Miami]], [[Florida]], USA.<ref>[http://people.cis.fiu.edu/iyengar/ Dr. Iyengar].</ref> He also founded and directs the Robotics Research Laboratory at Louisiana State University (LSU). He has been a Visiting Professor or Scientist at [[Oak Ridge National Laboratory]], [[Jet Propulsion Laboratory]], [[Naval Research Laboratory]], and has been awarded the Satish Dhawan Visiting Chaired Professorship at the Indian Institute of Science, the Homi Bhaba Visiting Chaired Professor (IGCAR), and a professorship at the [[University of Paris]] (Sorbonne).

== Personal life ==
S. Sitharama Iyengar was born on 26 August 1947 in Hemmige, a village along the side of [[Kaveri]] River situated about 7 kilometers from [[Tirumakudal Narsipur]] in [[Karnataka]]. S. S. Iyengar's father, Shri S.N. Sundaraj Iyengar worked as a Divisional Accountant in the Mysore State Electricity Board, and later moved to [[Bangalore]] in 1949. S. S. Iyengar's mother is Smt. S. Mahalakshmi.

== Education ==
Professor Iyengar graduated from [[University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering]] (UVCE) in India with a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering, and M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the [[Indian Institute of Science]], Bangalore, then a Ph.D. in Engineering from [[Mississippi State University]] in the United States in 1974. He was a faculty fellow at JPL-CalTech and ASEE faculty fellow at Oak Ridge national Lab. He joined the Computer Science Department as one of the only five faculty members at [[Louisiana State University]]. Soon after, he became the department chair and had stayed at the position for 22 years. Meanwhile, Professor Iyengar was very active to collaborate for any research topic with colleagues all over the world.<ref name="cv">[http://people.cis.fiu.edu/iyengar/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/ResumeNov13th.pdf Curriculum Vita of Dr. Iyengar], Florida International University, USA, 13 Nov 2016.</ref>

== Research ==
Professor Iyengar has been a PI/Co-PI on many [[National Science Foundation|NSF]], [[DARPA]], and MURI funded projects and has been an active participant in numerous government sponsored studies. He has chaired many international conferences on Distributed Sensor Networks and served on many programming committees on [[sensor network]]s around the world. Professor Iyengar has published over 600 research papers in journals and conferences and he has authored, co-authored or edited over 22 books published in MIT Press, John Wiley, Prentice Hall, IEEE Computer Society Press, etc. These publications have been used in major universities all over the world. He has won many Best-Paper Awards sponsored by international conferences and his research publications are on data structures, robotics, [[parallel computing]], and sensor networks. Professor Iyengar has graduated over 55 Ph.D. students, 100 Master's students, many undergraduate students, and large numbers of post-doctoral fellows at various institutions in the world who are now faculty at Major Universities worldwide or scientists or engineers at National Labs / Industries around the world.
