Prior to this he was with CSIR-Central Building Research Institute, Roorkee, India. Dr. Chakraverty received his Ph.D. from IIT Roorkee in 1992. He then pursued postdoctoral research at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR), University of Southampton, U.K. and at the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science, Concordia University, Canada. He was a Visiting Professor at Concordia and McGill Universities, Canada, from 1997 to 1999 and Visiting Professor at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa in 2011-2014. He has authored/co-authored 11 books, published 283 research papers in journals and conferences and two more books are ongoing. 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), Inderscience Publisher, Switzerland and is Guest Editor for various other journals. He is also a reviewer for around 50 national and international journals and was the President of the Section of Mathematical Sciences (including Statistics) of Indian Science Congress (2015-2016) and the Vice President - Orissa Mathematical Society (2011-2013). Dr. Chakraverty is the recipient of a number of prestigious awards: Indian National Science Academy (INSA) nomination under the International Collaboration/Bilateral Exchange Program (with Czech Republic), Platinum Jubilee ISCA Lecture Award (2014), CSIR Young Scientist (1997), BOYSCAST (DST), UCOST Young Scientist (2007, 2008), Golden Jubilee Director's (CBRI) Award (2001), INSA International Bilateral Exchange Award ([2010-11 (selected but could not undertake), 2015 (selected)], and Roorkee University Gold Medals (1987, 1988) for first positions in M.Sc. and M.Phil. Dr. Chakraverty has been Principal Investigator of 16 research projects funded by international and national agencies. His current research areas include soft computing and machine intelligence, artificial neural networks, fuzzy and interval computations, numerical analysis, differential equations, mathematical modeling, uncertainty modeling, vibration and inverse vibration problems.
Dr. S.S.N. Perera has 16 years of research and teaching experience. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematical Modeling from the TU Kaiserslautern, Germany and University of Colombo, Sri Lanka (2008) under the DAAD scholarship program and his M.Sc. from ICTP/SISSA, Trieste, Italy (2004).
