Professor Keshav Dahal joined the University of the West Scotland in 2013 as a research lead of the Artificial Intelligence, Visual Communication and Networks (AVCN) research centre. Prior to this he was with the University of Bradford (2002-2013) and the University of Strathclyde (1996-2002). His research interests lie in the areas of Computational intelligence, Machine learning, Big data mining, Scheduling/Optimisation, Trust/security modelling in cloud and distributed systems, and diagnosis/remote healthcare systems. His research paper on ‘reputation/trust modelling’ won the Best Paper award at an IEEE Conference; other two papers on “multiobjective and hybrid evolutionary/OR techniques for industrial optimisation and scheduling problems” were nominated for the best paper awards in two EvoCOP conferences. Prof. Dahal has an extensive experience in terms of research supervision and management of funded projects. He has been principal/co-investigator of 15 EU/UK/Industry funded projects worth over £4 million in last ten years. Currently, he is coordinating a consortium of 20 partners for EU Erasmus Mundus Action 2 ‘SmartLink’ project (2014-2018), which focuses on the applications of smart technologies based on AI and decision support techniques to a wide range of application domains. He is also a co-investigator of the recently awarded EU H2020-ICT-2014-2 “SELFNET – Framework for Self-organized network management in virtualized and software defended networks” project (2015-2018). He has successfully supervised the completions of 4 Post-Doctoral and 13 PhD studies. Prof. Dahal has published over 100 peer-reviewed journals/conferences papers and 3 edited books, and has sat on organising/programme committees of over 50 reputed international conferences; including the general chair of the IEEE SKIMA 2015. He is a senior member of the IEEE and fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA).
