About the editors
Dr. Kapil Ahuja holds master’s and Ph.D. degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science (from Virginia Tech, USA) and has a strong interdisciplinary focus. After graduating earlier this decade from VT, he received his postdoctoral training from the Max Planck Institute in Magdeburg (Germany). Since then, he has established his independent research program in Mathematics of Data Science and Computational Science at IIT Indore, where he is currently working as Associate Professor. Dr. Ahuja is solving challenging problems that are at both the ends of the research spectrum, i.e., theoretical as well as applicable. His core research interests are in artificial intelligence, machine learning, numerical methods, and optimization. He believes that it is necessary to collaborate globally to solve challenging research problems. Hence, he has multiple active international research collaborations (USA, Germany, India, France, and UK). In the recent past, he has also held visiting professor positions at TU Braunschweig (Germany), TU Dresden (Germany), and Sandia National Labs (USA). Dr. Ahuja's overall research output includes thirty publications (including eighteen in reputed journals) as well as external funding worth more than half-a-million USD from twelve projects. While achieving this, he has graduated two Ph.D. students with three more to graduate soon. Since teaching and service are essential for a fruitful and satisfying research career, he is very committed to these aspects as well. Dr. Ahuja has received the Best Teacher Award four times at IIT Indore. In the past, he has held many administrative positions. Since the past three years, he is heading International Affairs at IIT Indore as Founding Dean for the same.
Dr. Anupam Yadav is Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Dr. BR Ambedkar National Institute of Technology Jalandhar, India. His research area includes numerical optimization, soft computing, and artificial intelligence, he has more than ten years of research experience in the areas of soft computing and optimization. Dr. Yadav has done Ph.D. in soft computing from Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, and he worked as Research Professor at Korea University. He has published more than twenty-five research articles in journals of international repute and has published more than fifteen research articles in conference proceedings. Dr. Yadav has authored a text book entitled “An introduction to neural network methods for differential equations”. He has edited three books which are published by AISC, Springer Series. Dr. Yadav was General Chair, Convener, and Member of steering committee of several international conferences. He is Associate Editor in the journal of the experimental and theoretical artificial intelligence. Dr. Yadav is Member of various research societies.
Dr. Jagdish Chand Bansal is Associate Professor at South Asian University, New Delhi, and Visiting Faculty at Maths and Computer Science, Liverpool Hope University, UK. Dr. Bansal has obtained his Ph.D. in Mathematics from IIT Roorkee. Before joining SAU, New Delhi, he has worked as Assistant Professor at ABV Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management Gwalior and BITS Pilani. His primary area of interest is swarm intelligence and nature-inspired optimization techniques. Recently, he proposed a fission–fusion social structure-based optimization algorithm, spider monkey optimization (SMO), which is being applied to various problems from engineering domain. He has published more than 60 research papers in various international journals/conferences. He is Series Editor of the book series such as Algorithms for Intelligent Systems (AIS) and Studies in Autonomic, Data-driven and Industrial Computing (SADIC) published by Springer. He is Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Swarm Intelligence (IJSI) published by Inderscience. He is also Associate Editor of IEEE ACESSS published by IEEE and ARRAY published by Elsevier. He is Steering Committee Member and General Chair of the annual conference series SocProS. He is General Secretary of Soft Computing Research Society (SCRS). He has also received Gold Medal at UG and PG level.
