Dr. Mukesh Prasad is Senior Lecturer at the School of Computer Science in the Faculty of Engineering and IT at UTS who has made substantial contributions to the fields of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of things. Mukesh’s research interests include also big data, computer vision, brain computer interface, and evolutionary computation. He is working also in the evolving and increasingly important field of image processing, data analytics, and edge computing, which promise to pave the way for the evolution of new applications and services in the areas of health care, biomedical, agriculture, smart cities, education, marketing, and finance. His research has appeared in numerous prestigious journals, including IEEE/ACM Transactions, and at conferences, and he has written more than 100 research papers. Mukesh started his academic career as Lecturer with UTS in 2017 and became Core Member of the University’s world-leading Australian Artificial Intelligence Institute (AAII), which has a vision to develop theoretical foundations and advanced technologies for AI and to drive progress in related areas. His research is backedby industry experience, specifically in Taiwan, where he was Principal Engineer (2016-17) at the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). There, he developed new algorithms for image processing and pattern recognition using machine learning techniques. He was also Postdoctoral Researcher leading a big data and computer vision team at National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan (2015). Mukesh received an M.S. degree from the School of Computer and Systems Sciences at the Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, India (2009), and a Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science at the National Chiao Tung University in Taiwan (2015). Dr. Sonali Agarwal is working as Associate Professor in the Information Technology Department of Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Allahabad, India. She received her Ph.D. degree at IIIT, Allahabad, and joined as faculty at IIIT, Allahabad, where she is teaching since October 2009. She holds Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) degree in Electrical Engineering from Bhilai Institute of Technology, Bhilai, (C.G.) India, and Masters of Engineering (M.E.) degree in Computer Science from Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology (MNNIT), Allahabad, India.
