Naren Ramakrishnan is the Thomas L. Phillips Professor of Engineering in the department of computer science at Virginia Tech. He also serves as  an adjunct professor at the Institute of Bioinformatics and Applied  Biotechnology (IBAB), Bangalore, India.

At Virginia Tech, Ramakrishnan directs the Discovery Analytics Center, a university-wide effort that brings together researchers from computer science, statistics, mathematics, and electrical and computer engineering to tackle knowledge discovery problems in important areas of national interest, including intelligence analysis, sustainability, and electronic medical records. His research has been supported by NSF, DHS, NIH, NEH, DARPA, ONR, General Motors, HP Labs, NEC Labs, and Advance Auto Parts. His work has been featured in the NIH outreach publication Biomedical Computation Review (twice), the National Science Foundation's Discoveries series (and home page), and ACM Technews (eight times). He serves on the editorial boards of IEEE Computer, Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, and many other journals.

Ramakrishnan has received an NSF CAREER grant (2000), the New Century Technology Council Innovation Award (2001), DARPA BioSPICE Early Contributor Appreciation Award (2002), Dean's awards for both teaching excellence (2005) and research excellence (2010) at Virginia Tech, and a HP Labs innovation award (2009). He was included in two "40 under 40" lists: Computerworld's innovative IT people to watch (2007) and Purdue University's list of distinguished alumni (2010). Naren is an ACM Distinguished Scientist (2009). He is a recipient of Virginia Tech's Alumni award for research excellence (2011) - the highest research award given at the univerity.

Softlab's emphasis is on the design of software systems that provide high-level abstractions to their users, in support of problem solving,  knowledge discovery, or, information finding. Our work is highly interdisciplinary, both in the domains outside computer science that we support and in the areas  within computer science that we integrate.
