Before this, he held several senior positions such as the Global Technical Director for Manufacturing, Automotive and Logistics at Databricks and the Head of AI at Stanley Black & Decker. Bala holds a Ph.D. in machine learning from the University of Sheffield, UK. He is currently the outgoing Chair of the IEEE SMC Society’s UK and Ireland section. In addition, he had the honour of serving on the IEEE 70xx standards and certification committee, which focuses on the ethical and safe use of AI.



Professor Daniel Elson

Imperial College London, UK

Biography: Daniel Elson is Professor of Surgical Imaging and Biophotonics in the Hamlyn Centre for Robotic Surgery, Department of Surgery and Cancer and the Institute of Global Health Innovation. His group develops and clinically translates photonics technology and new endoscopic techniques for surgical imaging applications, including multispectral, polarization-resolved and fluorescence imaging. This work has been funded by the ERC, EPSRC, MRC, TSB, CRUK, Wellcome Trust and the NIHR, totalling >£50M as investigator, and including collaborations with industrial partners such as Karl Storz, Covidien, Cymtec and Intuitive Surgical. He has published over 125 fully peer reviewed journal articles, one edited book, thirteen book chapters and has contributed to more than 350 conferences.



Professor David J. Brown

Nottingham Trent University, UK

Biography: David J. Brown is currently a Professor in interactive systems for social inclusion and Director of the Computing and Informatics Research centre, at Nottingham Trent University (NTU), UK. He is the Principal Investigator of two EU H2020 Grants (MaTHiSiS and No One Left Behind) to investigate the use of sensor data to understand the emotional state of learners to provide personalised learning experiences and digital game making to enhance the engagement of students with learning disabilities and autism. He also acted as a Co-Investigator to EPSRC Internet of Soft Things, to investigate the impact of networked smart textile objects on young people’s wellbeing. He is the Co-Investigator from NTU, UK, for the Going Global Partnership Industry-Academia Collaborative Grant 2022–2023 funded by the British Council for the Project titled “Co-Designing a Smart Curriculum and Personalised Method of Delivery for Inclusive Value Added Courses” in collaboration with Nottingham Trent University, UK. He acts as co-PI in the EU Horizon Europe PHASE IV AI project for Privacy-Preserving approaches to the use of synthetic Electronic Health Records for the timely prediction of patients at the highest risk of lung cancers who will benefit from advanced screening techniques. Other recent awards include a British Council project to work with universities and school networks in Vietnam to understand how AIEd Tech can promote inclusive education approaches. He is the Chair of the International Conference on Disability, Virtual Reality and Associated Technology and Associate Editor for Frontiers: Virtual Reality in Medicine.



Professor Shafaq Sikandar

Queen Mary University of London, UK

Biography: Professor Shafaq Sikandar is the group leader of the Sensory Neurophysiology lab at the William Harvey Research Institute. Her research training was based on rodent and human models to study the neurophysiology of pain. Shafaq’s PhD training was in the Pharmacology department of University College London, and she continued postdoctoral training in the Anaesthesiology department of University of California San Diego and in the Wolfson Institute of Biomedical Research of UCL. In 2018 she was awarded a Versus Arthritis fellowship and appointed lecturer in sensory biology in the Centre for Experimental Medicine & Rheumatology.
The Sensory Neurophysiology lab researches neuronal mechanisms underlying the transition from acute to chronic pain, with a focus on musculoskeletal pain and neuro-immune interactions. We use in vivo and back translational approaches with mouse models in combination with molecular biology. Clinical studies are focussed on patients with post-surgical pain, arthritis, cancer pain and fibromyalgia.
Shafaq teaches on BSc modules Repair & regeneration (BMD361) / Disconnected pathways (ICM6013) and is the FMD Equality Diversity and Inclusion Lead for Communications and Engagement.

Biography: S. M. Riazul Islam is an Associate Professor (Senior Lecturer) of Computing Science at the University of Aberdeen, UK. His prior affiliations were with the University of Huddersfield, Sejong University, Inha University, Samsung R&D Institute, and the University of Dhaka. He has a Ph.D. in Information Engineering. Dr Islam is a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and he is also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). His research interests include Applied Artificial Intelligence (AI), Medical Diagnosis, Digital Health, Inclusive AI, and Internet of Things.





About the Applied Intelligence and Informatics (AII) Conference

Intelligence is defined as the ability to perceive or infer information, and to retain it as knowledge to be applied towards adaptive behaviours within an environment or context. It can be the capacity for logic, understanding, self-awareness, learning, emotional knowledge, reasoning, planning, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Informatics is the study of the structure, behaviour, and interactions of natural and engineered computational systems. It studies the representation, processing, and communication of information in natural and engineered systems. Applying intelligence and informatics in solving most complex problems in science, engineering, real-life manufacturing, defence, management, government, and industrial domains.

The 4th International Conference on Applied Intelligence and Informatics (AII 2024) provides a premier international forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse domains for the sharing of cutting-edge research results obtained through the application of intelligence and/or informatics to solve problems otherwise would not have been possible to solve. AII 2024 also fosters exchange and dissemination of innovative and practical development of methodologies and technologies with real-life applications.

AII 2024 aims to run in a competition format and asks all authors to make their dataset and methodology open access for the community usage. This is to: Foster the Reproducibility of Scientific Results, hence is the theme of the conference.
