Dr Ripon K. Chakrabortty

Dr Ripon K. Chakrabortty (Member, IEEE) is the Deputy Director (acting) of the Capability Systems Centre (CSC) and lecturer on System Engineering & Project Management at the School of Engineering and Information Technology, the University of New South Wales (UNSW Australia), Canberra. He is also the program coordinator for Master of Decision Analytics & Master of Engineering Science programs in UNSW Canberra at ADFA. Dr Chakrabortty leads the optimisation and machine learning efforts in the Capability System Centre. He is currently the Group Leader of Cross-Disciplinary Optimisation Under Capability Context Research Team. He obtained his PhD from the UNSW Canberra at ADFA in 2017, while completed his MSc and BSc from Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology on Industrial & Production Engineering in 2013 and 2009 respectively. As an educator and active researcher in his field, his focus is to deliver authentic teaching by pursuing real-life and practical knowledge to diversified students. Inarguably, his research involvement in the discipline of 'Decision Analytics', 'Applied Operations Research', 'Systems Engineering & Project Management', 'Industry 4.O' aids him to expose knowledge gaps in the body of knowledge. Whilst, his main role as an educator has been to augment the 'critical thinking skill' among students to bridge those gaps. He along with his team members have been making a good impact on applying different optimisation principles in artificial intelligence, electrical engineering, system engineering, project management and computer science domain. Such diversified research experience had made him successful in securing many big research grants. As a chief investigator, he has secured more than 2.5 million Australian dollars’ worth of research grant, while the apportioned amount to his credit is more than 1.1 million dollars. All his research grants have been from the Australian Defence Force (ADF).
