Amit Kumar is DNA Forensics Professional, Entrepreneur, Engineer, Bioinformatician, and an IEEE Volunteer. In 2005, he founded the first Private DNA Testing Company Bio Axis DNA Research Centre (P.) Ltd in Hyderabad, India, with a US Collaborator. He has vast experience of training 1000+ crime investigating officers and helped 750+ criminal and non-criminal cases to reach justice by offering analytical services in his laboratory. His group also works extensively on genetic predisposition risk studies of cancers and has been helping many cancer patients from 2012 to fight and win the battle against cancer. He was a member of the IEEE Strategy Development and Environmental Assessment Committee (SDEA) of IEEE MGA. He is a senior member of IEEE and has been a very active IEEE volunteer at Section, Council, Region, Technical Societies of Computational Intelligence and Engineering in Medicine and Biology and IEEE MGA levels in several capacities. He has driven several IEEE conferences, conference leadership programs, entrepreneurship development workshops, innovation, and internship-related events. Currently, he is Managing Director of BioAxis DNA Research Centre (P) Ltd and IEEE MGA Nominations and Appointments committee member. 

Jacek M. Zurada is Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Director of the Computational Intelligence Laboratory at the University of Louisville, Kentucky, USA, where he served as Department Chair and Distinguished University Scholar. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees (with distinction) in electrical engineering from the Technical University of Gdansk, Poland. He has published over 420 journal and conference papers in neural networks, deep learning, computational intelligence, data mining, image processing, and VLSI circuits. He has authored or co-authored three books, including the pioneering text Introduction to Artificial Neural Systems, co-edited the volumes Computational Intelligence: Imitating Life, Knowledge-Based Neurocomputing, and co-edited twenty volumes in Springer Lecture Notes on Computer Science.
