Ganesh Naik ranked as Top 2% of researchers in Biomedical Engineering (Stanford University Research), is a leading expert in biomedical engineering and signal processing. He received his Ph.D. degree in Electronics Engineering, specializing in biomedical engineering and signal processing, from RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia, in December 2009. He held a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position at MARCS Institute, Western Sydney University (WSU) between July 2017 to July 2020 and worked on a CRC project for sleep. During his tenure at WSU, he has developed several novel algorithms for wearables related to sleep projects. Before that, he held a Chancellor's Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship position in the Centre for Health Technologies, University of Technology Sydney (UTS), between February 2013 and June 2017. As an early mid-career researcher, he has edited 12 books, authored around 150 papers in peer-reviewed journals and conferences. Ganesh serves as an associate editor for IEEE ACCESS, Frontiers in Neurorobotics, and two Springer journals (Circuits, Systems, and Signal Processing and Australasian Physical & Engineering Sciences in Medicine). He is a Baden-Württemberg Scholarship recipient from Berufsakademie, Stuttgart, Germany (2006-2007). In 2010, he was awarded an ISSI overseas fellowship from Skilled Institute Victoria, Australia. Wellington Pinheiro dos Santos holds a degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (2001) and a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering (2003) from the Federal University of Pernambuco, and a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the Federal University of Campina Grande (2009). He is currently an Associate Professor (exclusive dedication) at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Center for Technology and Geosciences / School of Engineering of Pernambuco, Federal University of Pernambuco, working in the Undergraduate Program in Biomedical Engineering and the Graduate Program in Biomedical Engineering. He is also a member of the Graduate Program in Computer Engineering at Escola Politécnica de Pernambuco, Universidade de Pernambuco, since 2009. He has experience in the field of Computer Science, with an emphasis on Graphics Processing, working mainly in the following areas: topics: digital image processing, pattern recognition, computer vision, evolutionary computing, numerical optimization methods, computational intelligence, image formation techniques, virtual reality, game design and applications of Computing and Engineering in Medicine and Biology. He is a member of the Brazilian Society of Biomedical Engineering (SBEB), of the Brazilian Society of Computational Intelligence (SBIC, ex-SBRN), and of the International Federation of Medical and Biological Engineering (IFMBE).
