Snehanshu Saha holds Master's Degreein Mathematical and Computational Sciences at Clemson University, USA, and Ph.D. from the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Texas at Arlington in 2008. He was the recipient of the prestigious Dean's Fellowship during Ph.D. and Summa Cum Laude for being in the top of the class. After working briefly at his Alma matter, Snehanshu moved to the University of Texas El Paso as a regular full-time faculty in the Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Texas El Paso. Currently, he is a professor of Computer Science and Engineering at PES University since 2011 and heads the Center for AstroInformatis, Modeling, and Simulation. He is also a visiting professor at the Department of Statistics, University of Georgia, USA, and BTS Pilani, India.
Carlos A. Coello Coello (Fellow, IEEE) received the Ph.D. degree in computer science from Tulane University, New Orleans, LA, USA, in 1996. He is currently a professor with Distinction (CINVESTAV-3F Researcher), Computer Science Department, CINVESTAV-IPN, Mexico City, Mexico. He has authored and co-authored over 500 technical papers and book chapters. He has also co-authored the book Evolutionary Algorithms for Solving Multiobjective Problems (2nd ed., Springer, 2007) and has edited three more books with publishers such as World Scientific and Springer. His publications currently report over 60000 citations in Google Scholar (his H-index is 96). His major research interests are evolutionary multi-objective optimization and constraint-handling techniques for evolutionary algorithms.He has received several awards, including the National Research Award (in 2007) from the Mexican Academy of Science (in the area of exact sciences), the 2009 Medal to the Scientific Merit from Mexico City's congress, the Ciudad Capital: Heberto Castillo 2011 Award for scientists under the age of 45, in Basic Science, the 2012 Scopus Award (Mexico's edition) for being the most highly citedscientist in engineering in the five years previous to the award and the 2012 National Medal of Science in Physics, Mathematics, and Natural Sciences from Mexico's presidency (this is the most important award that a scientist can receive in Mexico). He also received the Luis Elizondo Award from the Tecnológico de Monterrey in 2019.
Dr. Jagdish Chand Bansal is an Associate Professor (Senior Grade) at South Asian University New Delhi and Visiting Faculty at Maths and Computer Science, Liverpool Hope University UK.
