Prof Pradeep Ray is the founder of the Centre For Entrepreneurship (CFE) at the University of Michigan-Shanghai Jiao Tong University Joint Institute since 2017. He is a Fellow of IET. He established the research theme of Technology Entrepreneurship for Sustainable Development that led to the recent book “Technology Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Development” by Springer Nature (eds Pradeep Ray and Rajib Shaw), Singapore in 2022. He has also been an Honorary Professor in the UNSW Medicine and Health in Australia since 2016. Prior to 2016, he established and led for 10 years from 2006 the Asia-Pacific ubiquitous Healthcare research Centre (APu HC) that was designated as the WHO Collaborating Centre (WHOCC) on e Health at UNSW in 2013. Pradeep was a Professor and the Director of this WHOCC from 2013-2016 and led many projects on e Health including those involving disaster management with collaborations across several countries (Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, China, Japan, EU etc.). He founded IEEE Healthcom (e Health Networking, Applications and Services Conference) in 1999.  In his current role in China, he has been leading multi-country projects, such as m Health for Belt and Road Region (2018-2020) leading to a book including a Section on m Health for disasters with 4 chapters led by Dr. Soshino and Dr. Geumpana “Mobile Technologies for Delivering Healthcare in Remote, Rural or Developing Regions”, published by IET Press, London in 2020.
