Dinesh P. Mehta has been on the faculty of the Colorado School of Mines since 2000, where he is currently professor in the Department of Computer Science. He earned degrees (all in computer science) from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, the University of Minnesota, and the University of Florida. Before joining Mines in 2000, he was on the faculty of the University of Tennessee Space Institute, where he received the Vice President's Award for Teaching Excellence in 1997. He was a visiting professor at Intel's Strategic CAD Labs for several months in 1996 and 1997 and at the Tata Research Development and Design Center (in Pune, India) in 2007. He has also received graduate teaching awards at Mines in 2007, 2008, and 2009.

He was assistant department head from 2004 to 2008 and interim department head from 2008 to 2010 in the former Department of Mathematical and Computer Sciences and served as president of the Mines Faculty Senate in 2016-2017.

Dr. Mehta is the coauthor of the book, Fundamentals of Data Structures in C++ and coeditor of the Handbook of Algorithms for VLSI Physical Design Automation. He serves as associate director of the ORwE (Operations Research with Engineering) PhD program at Mines and is currently an associate editor of ACM Computing Surveys. His current research interests are in cheminformatics, computational materials, and big graph analytics.

Sartaj Sahni is a distinguished professor of computer and information sciences and engineering at the University of Florida. He is also a member of the European Academy of Sciences, a Fellow of IEEE, ACM, AAAS, and Minnesota Supercomputer Institute, and a distinguished alumnus of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur.
