Dr. S. Chakraverty is working in the Department of Mathematics (Applied Mathematics Group),  National Institute of Technology Rourkela, Odisha as a full Professor (Higher Administrative Grade). Prior to this, he was with CSIR Central Building Research Institute, Roorkee, India. After completing his graduation from St. Columba's College (Ranchi University), his career started from the University of Roorkee (presently Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee) where he did his M.Sc. (Applied Mathematics) and M.Phil. (Computer Applications) securing the First position in the University. He received his Ph.D. from IIT Roorkee in 1992. Thereafter, he did his post doctoral research at Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR), University of Southampton, UK, and at the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science, Concordia University, Canada. He was also a visiting professor at Concordia and McGill Universities, Canada, during 1997-1999 and visiting professor at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa during 2011-2014. He has authored/co-authored 16 books and published 327 research papers in journals and conferences. He is on the Editorial Boards of various international journals, book series and conferences. Dr. Chakraverty is the Chief Editor of the International Journal of Fuzzy Computation and Modelling (IJFCM). His current research areas include soft computing and machine intelligence, artificial neural network, fuzzy and interval computations, numerical analysis, differential equations, mathematical modeling, uncertainty modelling, and vibration and inverse vibration problems.

 

Dr. P. Biswas is a retired professor with over 50 year of experience in the fields of linear and non-linear analysis of plates and shells, specifically deformations, buckling and vibrations. He is the founder member and one of the co-organizers of the WMVC and ICOVP series of conferences. He has published morethan
