Dr ASM Shihavuddin, who graduated from the EEE Department of IUT, is currently working as the Chairperson of the Department of EEE at Presidency University (PU). He is renowned for his contributions to Computer Vision and Deep Learning. In 2017, he published his work on the optimum 2D projection of 3D microscopic data in Nature Communications, also the same year his contributions to analyzing ciliogenesis were published in Science. In 2018, he published another nature paper by successfully discovered cilia-beating properties. Neuron, Development, Remote Sensing, and Energies are among other top journals where his novel contributions in image processing and machine learning fields have been published. He has 48 research articles in different international journals and international conferences with 1970 citations (20 H index and 39 i10 indexes).

Dr. ASM Shihavuddin worked as a Professor at the EEE Department of the Green University of Bangladesh (GUB), an associate Professor at the CSE Department of ULAB and the CSE Department of IUB. Earlier he worked as an Assistant professor at DTU Compute, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Denmark. He previously worked in the same department as a postdoctoral researcher for 10 months on ‘Automated damage detection from wind turbine inspection images with deep learning’.

He completed his first postdoc at Ecole Normale Superieure (ENS), Paris with a computational biology and bioinformatics group. His principal research area was to develop machine learning and image analysis algorithms in the study of Ependymal cell microscopy images.

He did his Ph.D. from the VICOROB group, Universitat De Girona (UDG) Spain. His main research Problem was “Automated Underwater Object Classification using Optical Imagery”. He completed his MSc in ‘European Masters in Computer Vision and Robotics (VIBOT)’ under Erasmus Mundus Grants.

Earlier In 2006, he joined IUT as a lecturer of the EEE Department and was promoted to Assistant Professor in 2011. From 2007 to 2014, he finished my MBA evening from the Marketing Department of the University of Dhaka.
