MU Professor Awarded for Melding Medical Informatics and Engineering

Pasupathy works to prevent medical errors by bridging the gap between two professions


Kalyan Pasupathy
A University of Missouri School of Medicine professor has been recognized for his work in engineering. Kalyan Pasupathy, PhD, was nominated by the Institute of Industrial Engineers for the New Faces of Engineering award. The honor is given only to professionals age 30 or younger.

Pasupathy, assistant professor of health management and informatics at MU, conducts interdisciplinary research in health care systems engineering to improve quality and reduce medication errors and cost.

“I was very delighted to be recognized by my own profession,” Pasupathy said. “It also is humbling. When I interact with my students and see them everyday, it reminds me of why I do this and motivates me to offer even more to the profession.”

Listed as the profession’s “brightest young stars,” this year’s class of winners included 14 honorees. The winners are chosen by the National Engineers Week Foundation for their work on pressing issues of a global scale, including energy resources, global climate change, infrastructure renewal, disease prevention and national security.
