VA Shiva Ayyadurai (Tamil:சிவா அய்யாதுரை) (born 2 December 1963 in Tamilnadu,India) is an Indian American scientist and entrepreneur.
As a high school student in 1978, he developed a full-scale emulation of the interoffice mail system, which he called "EMAIL" and copyrighted in 1982. That name's resemblance to the generic term "email" and the claims he later made for the program have led to controversy over Ayyadurai's place in the history of computer technology.
Ayyadurai teaches Systems Visualization at MIT In 2012, he launched Systems Health an educational program for medical doctors which integrates concepts from systems of holistic medicine such as Siddha, Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese medicine with systems science and systems biology. Systems Health is offered through the Chopra Centre with Deepak Chopra, a holistic health/New age guru and perhaps the most famous of America's alternative medicine practitioners.
