Dr ASM Shihavuddin, who graduated from the EEE Department of IUT, is currently working as a professor and head of the Department of EEE at the University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh (ULAB). 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 analysing ciliogenesis were published in Science. In 2018, he published another Nature paper by successfully discovering cilia-beating properties. Neuron, Development, Remote Sensing, and Energies are among the other top journals where his novel contributions in image processing and machine learning fields have been published. He has 48 research articles in international journals and conferences with 3828 citations (h-index 29 and i10-index 61).

Dr. ASM Shihavuddin worked as Head of the EEE Department at Presidency University, Professor in the EEE Department at the Green University of Bangladesh (GUB), and an Associate Professor in the CSE Department at ULAB and 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 École Normale Supérieure (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 in 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.
