Abhishek Dubey

Dr. Abhishek Dubey is an Associate Professor of Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Science, as well as a Chancellor Faculty Fellow at Vanderbilt University. He directs the SCOPE Lab at the Institute for Software-Integrated Systems and serves as a Senior Research Scientist within the institute. Dr. Dubey is also a Program Director at the National Science Foundation, overseeing the Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Smart and Connected Communities (SCC), and Civic Innovation Challenge (CIVIC) programs.  

Dr. Dubey's research addresses critical challenges in public transportation, city infrastructure, power grids, and charging networks. He collaborates actively with communities to understand these systems and applies Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) theory to design impactful solutions. His work emphasizes decision-theoretic approaches, focusing on real-time decision-making and long-term optimization while tackling the challenges of scale, changing dynamics, and evolving system requirements.  In addition to his academic research, Dr. Dubey has co-founded Mobius AI, Inc a company focused on bringing cutting-edge technology in logistics and fleet management to the market, bridging the gap between research and practical applications.  

Key contributions from his research include the development of hierarchical decision procedures for motor vehicle crash responses, efficient public transit operations, software for vehicle to building charging and transactive energy systems. Dr. Dubey’s work has been supported by organizations such as NSF, NASA, DOE, ARPA-E, AFRL, DARPA, Nissan, Siemens, Cisco, and IBM.  

A recipient of the NSF CAREER Award (2022), Dr. Dubey has published over 200 articles. He previously served as the Director of Graduate Studies for Vanderbilt’s Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department. He holds a Ph.D. (2009) and M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Vanderbilt University and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi (2001).  <<
