Speakers

Prof. Akash Saxena

IEEE Senior Member

Central University of Haryana, Mahendergarh

Dr. Akash received a Bachelor of Technology in Engineering with honors in Electrical Engineering from the Department of Electrical Engineering, Engineering College Kota, Kota Rajasthan, India in 2001, a Master of Technology with honors in Power System Engineering from the Department of Electrical Engineering, Malaviya National Institute of Technology, Jaipur, India in 2008 and a Ph.D. degree in Power System Dynamics from the Malaviya National Institute of Technology, India in 2015. Dr. Akash has presented research work at national/international conferences in India and abroad. He has had the good opportunity to gain a rich and diverse work experience of nearly a decade in both the corporate and academic worlds. His research interests are Computational Intelligence, Application of Artificial Intelligence in the power system, Control theory, smart grid, signal processing, and Metaheuristics. His research is focused on application-oriented solutions that can be a beneficial tool for mankind and society. In particular, in a recent work, a supervised architecture based on the Air Quality index values is proposed by Dr. Akash to classify the ambient air quality in various parts of India. During the past three years, He got an opportunity to work on projects based on metaheuristic optimization algorithms. In these projects, several variants of optimization algorithms were proposed and applications of those are reported in Q1 journal papers (Elsevier). His recently published work in the applied soft computing journal (Elsevier) on the development of an internal optimization-based grey forecasting model is also an integral part of this project work. In addition to that, he has completed two government-funded research projects sponsored by Rajasthan Technical University.
