Tejasvi Parupudi

“I have a love for finding simpler ways to solve problems,” says Tejasvi Parupudi, explaining the genesis of his interest in computer science.

Parupudi joins the School of Computing and Intelligence, part of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University, as an assistant teaching professor in computer science and engineering. He will teach CSE 340 Principles of Programming Languages and CSE 511 Data Processing at Scale and provide mentoring for capstone projects.

As Parupudi progressed through his graduate studies, he found a meaningful connection between computer engineering and embedded systems. He worked on a variety of research projects that explored the development of wearable biomedical devices and software development projects that use large medical databases to assist with clinical decision-making. His work has been published in a number of journals.

After being awarded his doctoral degree from Purdue University, Parupudi served as a clinical assistant professor at the University of North Texas, where he taught classes on data structures, systems programming and embedded systems. He previously worked as an application scientist for Zeblok Computational.

Now, he hopes to inspire the next generation of students, especially to pursue advanced degrees and consider work in research.

“I enjoy student interaction and love mentoring my undergraduate and graduate students,” Parupudi says. “I’m very interested in collaborating with other faculty members on research that uses design projects to motivate students to pursue graduate school.”

He would also like to help develop a curriculum for graduate students on current topics in artificial intelligence. Parupudi is especially excited about the Fulton Schools spirit of collaboration and the impactful research underway by fellow faculty members.

“I look forward to meeting other faculty members in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence,” he says. “It’s a vast cohort with diverse teaching and innovative research experience.”

The move to ASU puts Parupudi closer to his family. He is the proud father of twin toddlers and enjoys spending time with them when not working. He is a trained singer in classical music who loves mentoring other vocalists.

Parupudi also likes to blog, especially about traveling and nature.
