About

Venkateshwarla R Rama Raju received the B.Sc.(Hon`s) Degree in Electronics with specialization in transistor characteristics digital electronics in 1984 from Osmania University, a post B.Tech(Hon`s) Degree in Computer Science & Engineering(CSE) with Artificial Intelligence – Robotics & Biomedical Engg (AI&R, BME) specialization from University of Hyderabad(UoH) Central University(HCU) in 1988, a M.Tech Degree in Computer Science & Technology with AI/Machine Translation NLP specialization from JNU New Delhi in 1992, a PhD Degree in Transdiscipline CSE and AI and Biomedical Eng & Neurology-Neurosurgery from Nizam`s Inst of Medical-Sciences(NIMS)Hospital ( 2009) all in India. He also pursued an Advanced masters MS Degree through research in Cognitive Science (AI/Medical-Neuroscience, Natural Language-and-Speech Processing, Speech-Technology&Auditory-Processing) at ILASH-Research Centre, Computer Science Dept, University of Sheffield(England,1994-95), M.Phil/D.Sc. Degree in Biomedical-Signal-processing from the Bioengineering-Transducers-Signal-Processing(BTSP) Research Group of University of Leicester(UoL) Dept of Engg(England,1995-97), worked as Scientist/Engineer at Planning Commission (NewDelhi) through Indian Engineering Services (IES), Research Fellow at UOS-and-UoL. Presently, he is a full Professor at CMRCET Hyderabad involved in developing and applying new estimation, systems and control-tools in order to: build computational simulation and statistical models of electrical-activity in neural-circuits affected by Parkinson`s disease(PD), understand electro-physiological-dynamics of neural-circuits in health/disease-states during DBS treatment, design more effective, adaptive, and safer DBS-strategies for neurological-neurodegerative-disorders; design new clinical/clinico-statistical-experiments, develop/apply systems-level mathematical-frameworks for modeling-and-controlling neuronal-network-activity in the brain with DBS, create a more intelligent-system for both placing-and-controlling the electrodes; implant an intelligent-chip that continuously measures-monitors neural-activity, and finally build an effective new cadre-of-researchers who bridge the training and thinking gaps toward major-advances in trans discipline neuroscience. He has over 180 papers published in national and international journals and over 12 chapters in various text books - proceedings. He is a Professional member of different scientific societies of engineering medicine biology and computing: Life member of ISTE, senior member of IEEE (USA), British Computing Society (BCS, UK), LAM of Indian Academy of Neurology (IAN), life member of Indian Academy of Neurosciences (IANs), Member [# 46708] of International Parkinson Disease and Movement Disorders society (WI, USA), Neurological Society of India (NSI), member of Andhra Pradesh Neurology society and neuroscientists association, etc. He was granted [SR/CSRI/201/2016] by the Dept of Science & Technology (DST), Ministry of Science&Technology, Govt of India, New Delhi.
Biosketch: Dr Raju is one of the distinguished pioneers of the field of computational neuroscience and cognitive system, computer science – artificial intelligence (AI) machine intelligence and machine learning (ML), and biomedical/neural systems engineering with applications to Parkinson`s disease (PD), dystonic movement disorders, Alzheimer`s, cancer, epileptic seizures, etc. He is recognized for his leadership in naming and shaping the discipline as well as contributing significantly to its understanding and maturation. He has written many peer reviewed papers and served as the keynote speaker at many conferences. In parallel, he has authored nearly 300 archival publications and, served as Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Health Rejuvenation, Peer reviewer of the BRAIN Informatics Journal, IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engg – IEEE Engineering Medicine & Biology (EMB), International Federation of Medical and Biological Engineering (IFMBE, Canada), Taylor & Francis (UK), Journal of Neurosciences, international journal of aesthetics and health rejuvenation Dr. Raju’s outstanding accomplishments in the field of neural engineering are numerous. He has excelled in four major CSE areas in particular: analyzing and monitoring Parkinson`s brain disease and nerve injury and muscle damages using advanced signal and image processing and analysis methods; developing vital technology for neural interfaces; leading the development of neural prosthetics capable of dexterous manipulation.
