Professor Alamgir Hossain

Prof. Alamgir Hossain received the Dphil degree from the University of Sheffield, UK. Prior to this he has held academic positions at Sheffield University, UK (Research Fellow); University of Bradford, UK (as Senior Lecturer); Sheffield Hallam University, UK (as Senior Lecturer) and University of Dhaka, Bangladesh (as Chairman & Associate Professor of the Computer Science & Engineering Department). He also served in the University Lumiere Lyon 2, France (Visiting Professor) and MDIS, Singapore (guest lecturer).

He has extensive research experience in computational intelligence, system biology, optimisation, internet security, real-time and adaptive control. He led two large EU funded projects: eLINK (about 5.5 million EURO) which has ten partners from Asia and Europe and EAST-WEST (Asia link) project of about 400K with six partners from Asia and EU countries. He is also acting as the UK co-ordinator of a British Council funded research network project for higher education link programme.

Prof. Hossain is currently supervising five PhD students mostly to the area of intelligent systems, Systems Biology, Internet security and optimisation. In the past, he was involved with many funded research projects and joint research with companies, including Balfour Beaty Rail, Goodrich Engine Design, Bobtec Ltd, Aramco (Saudi Arabia), NEC (Japan) etc.

Prof. Hossain acted as programme chair, organising chair and IPC member of various international conferences. He is currently serving as chair of advisory board of SKIMA 2011 and as an editor and member of the editorial board of three journals. He has reviewed many journal papers, including IEEE transaction on SMC, Networking, Aerospace and Electronic Systems, IET journals, Elsevier Science etc.

Prof. Hossain has published over 150 refereed research articles and 12 books. He received the "IET- F C Williams 1996" award for a journal paper and 'Best Paper Award' for his CSBio 2010 conference paper. He is a member of the IEEE and Secretary of the CLAWAR Association.

Some of the application domains are as follows:

• Modelling of nonlinear biological systems, tracking, optimal drug scheduling, knowledge extraction and data mining (mainly Cancer domain but not limited). The main goal is to develop an adaptive personalised optimal treatment scheme for cancer treatment, so that the oncologist can exploit the scheme to reduce side effects that exists in existing treatment model.
• Computer System and Internet Security: Designing intelligent algorithm for authentication, real-time protection from Phishing attack. This also includes location based authentication using encrypted GPS signal and advanced protocol design.
• Real-time Solution: This includes real-time algorithm design, parallel computing, System identification, adaptive control, real-time control, optimal control applications, etc.
