Dr. Arun Kumar received his Ph.D. in electronics and communication engineering from JECRC University, Jaipur, India. He is an Associate Professor in Electronics and Communication Engineering at New Horizon College of Engineering in Bengaluru, India. Dr. Kumar has a total of 10 years of teaching experience and has published more than 82 research articles in SCI-E and Scopus Index journals, 2 books and 3 International patents (granted). His research interests are advanced waveforms for 5G mobile communication systems and 5G-based smart hospitals, PAPR reduction techniques in the multicarrier waveform, and spectrum sensing techniques. Dr. Kumar has successfully implemented different reduction techniques for multi-carrier waveforms such as NOMA, FBMC, UFMC, and so on, and has also implemented and compared different waveform techniques for the 5G system. Currently, he is working on the requirements of a 5G-based smart hospital system. He is a member of the IEEE and a reviewer for many refereed, indexed journals. He was the Lead Guest Editor of the Special Issue Journal titled "Advanced 5G Communication System for Transforming Healthcare" in the Journal CMC-Computers, Materials and Continua (Q2, SCI, Scopus, Impact Factor: 3.7). He has served as Co-Convenor, Technical Programme Committee (TPC) Member and Reviewer in various International Conferences such as ICPCCAI-2019, ICPCCAI-2020, IEEE ISMAC (2018), ESG2018 and so on.

Dr. Sumit Chakravarty currently works as an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at Kennesaw State University. He has completed his doctoral studies from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and his Master of Science from Texas A&M University, Kingsville, both in Electrical Engineering. His Ph.D. dissertation is on the analysis of Hyperspectral Signatures and Data. He has multiple peer-reviewed journal publications, conference publications, a book chapter, and three granted patents (and one under review) besides the current work under progress. He has used his expertise in remote sensing by working as a scientist in the industry wherein he also worked on other sensor modalities commonly used in remote sensing like Multispectral, Lidar, and SAR. This includes working with a cross-disciplinary team comprising specialists from industry, government bodies like NASA, Goddard, and academia at the University of Maryland. His other industrial experience in engineering and research includes working in various roles such as Instrumentation Engineer for Triune Projects, Research Intern at Siemens CAD and Apex Eclipse Communications, Scientist for SGT Inc, and Lead Scientist for Honeywell Research (Automatic Control Solutions-Advanced Technology Labs). Some of his relevant experience includes instrumentation and plant logic design, noise reduction in communication systems, vibration analysis for equipment health monitoring, flare steam control loop design and modeling, image/video signal segmentation and analysis, and the use of statistical techniques for remote sensing and medical CAD applications.
