Dr. Akhter Mohiuddin Rather
Dr. Akhter Mohiuddin Rather obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science, specializing in Machine Learning and Data Sciences, from the University of Hyderabad in collaboration with the Institute for Development & Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT), Hyderabad (established by the Reserve Bank of India). During his Ph.D., he was awarded a prestigious research fellowship from IDRBT. His research interests span a wide range of cutting-edge topics, including Artificial Neural Networks, Deep Learning models for classification and regression, image classification, object detection, Transfer Learning, and NLP-based models using Transformer architectures.
Currently, Dr. Akhter is an Associate Professor in the Department of Analytics at Great Lakes Institute of Management, Gurgaon, with over 9 years of teaching experience. He previously held academic positions at Woxsen School of Business and VJIM, Hyderabad. Dr. Akhter has served as a reviewer for leading journals such as the European Journal of Operational Research (Elsevier), Neurocomputing (Elsevier), Applied Soft Computing (Elsevier), and the Journal of Forecasting (Wiley).
In recognition of his contributions to research, Dr. Akhter was nominated for the "Best Young Scientist Below 40 Years" award by GISR India in 2019.
