Rate My Professor Jana Doppa

Doppa's research specializes in artificial intelligence and machine learning, focusing on AI-driven adaptive experimental design to accelerate discoveries in science and engineering, sequential decision-making under uncertainty, robust machine learning for high-stakes applications, use-inspired AI for agriculture, materials discovery, additive manufacturing, healthcare, cybersecurity, electronic design automation, and sustainable computing. He leads the AI Thrust on modeling systems of knowns and unknowns in the NSF-USDA AI Institute for Agriculture Decision Support. His contributions to structured machine learning have earned him election as an ACM Distinguished Member in 2025, WSU Faculty Mid-Career Award and Anjan Bose Outstanding Researcher Award in 2024, NSF CAREER Award in 2019, AAAI Senior Member in 2023, ACM Senior Member in 2022, Outstanding Junior Faculty in Research Award in 2020, and multiple Best Paper Awards including AAAI Conference (2013), ACM Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems (2021), ACM/IEEE Embedded Systems Week (2022, 2023), and ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Low Power Electronic Design (2023). Additional honors include Reid-Miller Teaching Excellence Award (2018), Google Faculty Research Award (2015), and Outstanding Paper Award at AAAI (2013). Doppa has delivered the Anjan Bose lecture on AI (2024) and mentors PhD students through data mining and research methods courses.
