Biography

Dr. Senthilkumar Somasundaram is a Professor in Computer Science in the Department of Computers & Technology, School of Arts & Sciences, St. George’s University.

Dr. Senthilkumar earned his PhD in Computer Science from Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, India (2011), M. Tech from Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, India (2006), M.Sc. in Computer Science (2000) and BSc (1998) from University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. He was awarded a fellowship by the Indian government (2004-2008).

His research interest started with his M.Tech dissertation titled “Hybrid Genetic – Fuzzy Approach to Autonomous Mobile Robot Navigation in Unknown Environments”. And then led to his PhD. titled “Multi Robot Terrain Exploration and Coverage in Unknown Environments”. He has interest to do research in the areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Soft computing, Data Mining and Robotics and did publish several reputed International Journal publications and international conference proceedings so far.

His publications have been cited in 198 research publications since 2009 till now (Seven h-index papers and six i10-index papers). Currently He is working with his research group (residing in Srilanka, India, Papua New Guinea and USA).
