Dr. Bhanu Chander, working as Assistant Professor at Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT-K), Pala, Kerala, India. Graduated from Acharya Nagarjuna University, A.P, and post-graduate degree from the Central University of Rajasthan, Rajasthan. Ph.D. on Machine Learning in Wireless Sensor Networks for sensor data classification from Pondicherry University in 2022. Dr. Bhanu's primary research interests are in the area of Wireless Sensor Networks, Machine Learning and IoT security. As we know, computer science, as a field, has largely focused on problems relevant to the developed world. The Internet and the World Wide Web have remained largely urban phenomena, which mean that a significant fraction of the developing world, especially in rural and underdeveloped regions, remains disconnected from the rest of the world. Dr. Bhanu is a well-recognized academic reviewer by IEEE, ACM, and Springer, who served for 16 various scientific journals and conferences in the review process of more than 50 articles. He contributed as a track chair and session chair for numerous international conferences and workshops, and performed as a technical program committee (TPC) member for several international conferences organized by IEEE, Springer, and ACM.

He is interested in Machine Learning techniques for Energy efficient 6G Networks, Blockchain Technology for the Security of Internet of Things and Wireless Communications, Analysis and verification of cryptographic protocols, Satellite image analysis: identification of novel features or misclassified features. He published 8 articles in peer-reviewed journals, 5 international conferences, and 8 book chapters (Elsevier, Wiley, CRC and Springer). Presently his main interesting areas include Wireless Sensor Networks, IoT and Healthcare, Cryptography, Machine Learning, Deep Learning.
