- Pravin Pratap Varaiya (October 29, 1940 – June 10, 2022) was Nortel Networks Distinguished Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. Varaiya received his B.Sc. from University of Bombay and his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering in 1963 from University of California, Berkeley. Varaiya has worked in the areas of control, communication networks and transportation systems. He is the author of High-Performance Communication Networks (with Jean Walrand and Andrea Goldsmith) (2nd edn., Morgan-Kaufmann, 2000). In 1980, Varaiya became a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In 1999, he was elected to membership of the National Academy of Engineering and in 2006 he became Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2002, he received the IEEE Control Systems Award, "for outstanding contributions to stochastic and adaptive control and the unification of concepts from control and computer science". In 2008, he received the Richard E. Bellman Control Heritage Award from the American Automatic Control Council, "for pioneering contributions to stochastic control, hybrid systems and the unification of theories of control and computation". In 2022, he received the IEEE Simon Ramo Medal “for seminal contributions to the engineering, analysis, and design of complex energy, transportation, and communication systems.” Varaiya was ranked within the top 100 scientists in the world in the field of Engineering and Technology. Among his students was Jan van Schuppen. Varaiya died on June 10, 2022, due to injuries sustained during a car accident in April of that year. (en)
