Top computer scientists at Charles Sturt shaping the future

Dr Governatori (pictured right) is Research Fellow in Responsible AI, and Dr Yaqoob is Senior Research Fellow, Smart and Resilient Supply Chains Lead.

Charles Sturt Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) Professor Mark Evans said it is fantastic to see three Charles Sturt computer scientists ─ Dr Governatori, Dr Yaqoob, and Professor Paul ─ being recognised in a list of Australia’s best computer scientists.

“This is testimony to their consistent generation of high-quality research on what works in generative AI which is making a difference to improving the lives of rural and regional Australians,” he said.

Dr Yaqoob’s (pictured right) current research focuses on leveraging blockchain, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and metaverse for healthcare, supply chain and logistics, wireless networks, internet of things (IoT), and smart cities.

He has conducted research in the areas of mobile edge-cloud computing, IoT, computer networks, and big data. The impact of Dr Yaqoob’s work is outstanding, as he has been recognised as a highly cited researcher by Web of Science three times consecutively, which is significant at his age globally.

Since 2001 Professor Paul (pictured right) has conducted research in the video technology and other related fields for different applications such as entertainment, security, driverless cars, digital health, agriculture, etc. by developing innovative AI, information theory, and machine vision technologies.

Professor Paul was named Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Researcher of the Year 2017 by the Australian Computer Society.

“Video makes up more than 80 per cent of all internet traffic in recent years and it is growing day-by-day as video is the best format to convey various content within a short time span,” Professor Paul said.
