Pramod Kumar Varshney is a computer scientist and an electrical engineer at Syracuse University's College of Engineering and Computer Science. He earned a PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign in electrical engineering in 1976 under Abraham H. Haddad[1]. He is known for research on distributed detection theory and sensor fusion. He also worked on research related to Byzantines in sensor networks, estimation theory, wireless communications, image processing, radar signal processing[5], physical layer security, and machine learning. He supervised 68 PhD students, authored over 560 conference papers and over 350 journal papers.[1]

Varshney was named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 1997 for contributions to the theory and applications of distributed detection and data fusion.[6] He was honored with the 2021 IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society (AESS) Pioneer Award.[7] Varshney was awarded the IEEE Judith A. Resnik Award in 2012.[8] He was given the Yaakov Bar-Shalom Award for a Lifetime of Excellence by the International Society of Information Fusion in 2018.[9] In 2022 he received the Claude Shannon-Harry Nyquist Technical Achievement Award by the IEEE Signal Processing Society. [10][11] In 2000 he was awarded the Chancellor’s Citation for exceptional academic achievement from Syracuse University.[10][12] In 2014 he was awarded an honorary doctorate degree from Drexel University.[10][12] Varshney served as the Associate Chair of the electrical engineering department at Syracuse University from 1993-1996.[12][13] From 2009-2023 he was the executive director of the Center for Advanced Systems and Engineering (CASE) at Syracuse university.[12]
