Currently, she is guiding PhD scholars in Machine Learning, Computer Vision and Deep Learning areas. Dr. Mittal is Editorial Board member with Inder-Science, Bentham Science, Springer and Elsevier, handled Special issues, has chaired many Conferences. Rajiv Ratn Shah currently works as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (joint appointment with the Department of Human-centered Design) at IIIT-Delhi. He is also the director of the MIDAS Lab at IIIT-Delhi. He received his Ph.D. in computer science from the National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore. Before joining IIIT-Delhi, he worked as a Research Fellow in Living Analytics Research Center (LARC) at the Singapore Management University (SMU), Singapore. Prior to completing his Ph.D., he received his M.Tech. and M.C.A. degrees in Computer Applications from the Delhi Technological University (DTU), Delhi and Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), Delhi, respectively. He has also received his B.Sc. in Mathematics (Honors) from the Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi. Dr. Shah is the recipient of several awards, including the prestigious Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) and European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM) fellowships. He won the best student poster award in 33rd AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence at Hawaii, USA and won the best poster runner up award in 20th IEEE International Symposium on Multimedia (ISM) conference at Taichung, Taiwan. Recently, we also won the best poster and best industry paper awards at 5th IEEE International Conference on Multimedia Big Data (BigMM) conference. He is also the winner of 1st ACM India Student Chapter Grand Challenge 2019. He has also received the best paper award in the IWGS workshop at the ACM SIGSPATIAL conference 2016, San Francisco, USA and was runner-up in the Grand Challenge competition of ACM International Conference on Multimedia 2015, Brisbane, Australia. He is involved in organizing and reviewing of many top-tier international conferences and journals. He is TPC co-chair for IEEE BigMM 2019 and BigMM 2020. He has also organized the Multimodal Representation, Retrieval, and Analysis of Multimedia Content (MR2AMC) workshop in the conjunction of the first IEEE MIPR 2018 and 20th IEEE ISM conferences. His research interests include multimedia content processing, natural language processing, image processing, multimodal computing, data science, social media computing, and the internet of things.
