Biography Achla Marathe joined the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute and the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics as an Associate Professor in January 2005. She received her BA (Honors) in Economics from Delhi University, India, and a PhD in Economics from the University at Albany. Before joining Virginia Tech, she worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory for ten years, initially as a postdoctoral fellow and then as a technical staff member. At Los Alamos, Dr. Marathe worked on and led a number of projects in economics and data mining. Noteworthy projects included Advanced Methods for Medicare Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Detection, a data mining project that developed mechanisms for scoring medical claims based on the cumulative behaviors evidenced in the beneficiary and provider claim history, which was sponsored by the Health Care Financing Administration; Marking to Market of Derivative Securities, an Internal Revenue Service-sponsored project that aimed to develop a valuation system capable of handling a broad range of financial derivative securities; and the Department of Homeland Securitys National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center (NISAC) program under which agent-based analysis tools were developed for simulating restructured electricity markets. Prior to joining Los Alamos National Laboratory, Dr. Marathe consulted for International Finance Corporation, World Bank Group, where her work focused on emerging equity markets.
