Professor Asha Rao is an accomplished academic and currently serves as the Associate Dean of Mathematical Sciences at the RMIT University. Her diverse research interests span communication technologies, social media, and architecture, and her trans-disciplinary research approach has resulted in a strong publication record and the acquisition of over $1.5M in funding over the past 8 years. Professor Rao's expertise in risk, particularly in the areas of fraud and money laundering, has earned her invitations to participate in various national and international bodies, notably, including the 4th United Nations Intergovernmental Meeting on Cybercrime in early 2018.

In addition to her research, Prof. Rao has demonstrated strong leadership both within and outside RMIT. As the Program Director for Information Security, she established vital connections between the technical degree and the cybersecurity industry, enhancing the relevance of the program. Prof. Rao is also the founding chair of Women in Maths at RMIT, implementing several initiatives aimed at improving gender equity within the mathematical sciences

Professor Dinesh Ekanayake is an Professor and Graduate Coordinator in the Department of Mathematics and Philosophy at Western Illinois University. He obtained a Ph.D. and M.S. in Applied Mathematics from Texas Tech University and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Peradeniya in Sri Lanka. Prof. Ekanayake's research focuses on applying advances in control methods to complex hysteretic systems for engineering and biological applications, particularly in the areas of hysteresis modeling, control of hysteretic systems, and wildlife disease dynamics and control. He has published papers in renowned scientific journals such as the Journal of Biological Dynamics, SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, and IEEE ACC, contributing to the development of proportional derivative control for hysteretic systems and the stabilization of a system with non-monotone hysteresis and frequency-dependent power losses by a PD controller.
