Naveed Akhtar is a Senior Lecturer of Machine Learning, AI and Data Science at the Department of Computer Science & Software Engineering, UWA. He is also a Senior Research Fellow with the Australian Office of National Intelligence. He is known for his contribution to the field of Computer Vision with multiple publications in the leading scientific sources in Computer Science, including IEEE TPAMI, IEEE TNNLS, IJCV, CVPR and ECCV. He serve/d as an Area Chair of CVPR'22, ECCV'22 and WACV'23, and as an Associate Editor of IEEE TNNLS and IEEE Access. He has also served as a Guest Editor for Neurocomputing & Applications and Remote Sensing journals, and is an ACM Distinguished Speaker. He regularly reviews submissions to the top venues of his field, e.g., Nature Machine Intelligence, TPAMI, TNNLS, CVPR, ICCV and ECCV. His current research interests include deep learning, explainable AI, adversarial machine learning, 3D point cloud analysis and remote sensing.
Potential PhD students with strong track record and research publications are encouraged to contact me for scholarship opportunities.
Besides teaching Computer Science units, I also supervise Post-docs, PhD candidates and Masters students in my field of research. My students regularly publish in esteemed scientific sources of Computer Science.
